I am pretty sure all the PvPers know this by now ? Unless your PvMing you really wont have to worry about jewels breaking for quite some time. If you think its to expensive because its antique its not.... Many similar jewels of such power sell for the same. I actually just sold a dexxer ninja jewels a ring and bracelet for a bill each.It is truly a nice piece, however, antique jewelry pieces deteriorate rather quickly.
Since your a new member, i'll need your icq information and someone honorable to vouch for you please.It's very nice one!
I'll bid 1bil!
