The size of these nuts are likely where most of the cost is coming from. At the end of the day, anything over $45 will start to lose its value, as you're usually paying for something collectable, scare, or large.
You definitely can tell they were matched decently well, and cleaned partially before shipping. Only one deeply seeded darkened spot remained, and it was easily cleaned with some picking and brushing. No yellowing or cracking. Overall, after a week or so, I can safely say these were a good choice to grab for the price!
Last to note that the seller responded to my email quickly and pleasantly when I sent a question in - thanks!
Very good quality
Super fun little piece, adds a nice touch to any outfit.
Quality’s solid, feels really nice in hand. After messing with it for a while it starts building up that natural patina, and the color gets super nice.
I got this for my best friend. He’s a big fan of Sun Wukong, and I hope this pendant brings him courage and strength.
