How much do you think these ruby earrings are worth?

[Mithrandir]

I just bought these but was unsure whether I paid too much or if I got a decent deal. Without me giving what price I paid and based on this picture, how would you price these earrings?

I'm going to be honest if you don't mind?

The rubies in the earrings are probably highly treated and dyed and are therefore of very little value I'm afraid. Having said that, they're pretty. So long as you've paid "costume jewellery" prices - and those prices do vary wildly - rather than "precious ruby" prices, then you've had a good buy. Enjoy wearing them.

$18-ish. $12 if plated, and $24 if sterling silver.

Thanks. I appreciate your honesty. I paid about 25 dollars without the shipping. Hope that wasn't too bad of a payment.
