Stopped by the thrift on the way home after three final exams back to back to back. First time thrifting in a while. Got a beautiful vintage sterling Stuart Nye 'Pinecone' tie clip for a $1.99! Also got some really nice shirts, silk ties and suspenders for myself too. After walking back to my car, I was pacing around the car while talking to my wife on the phone to see what she wanted me to pick up for dinner. I then saw that glint of shiny 3 spaces over and picked up this 18k yellow gold box-link necklace off the ground while narrating to my wife what was happening. It's marked 750 on the clasp and jump ring. There was even a penny next to it!

Both very nice finds, and the price was right. You probably needed something good to happen after taking your exams to break the tension. I hope you did well. Education is so important these days if you want a decent job. What are your studies, if I may ask. I am curious because your finals came in September. Best of luck!
