Wear that class ring to the jewelry store
The ads on the radio promised money for gold at Perry’s jewelry store, and Vatogna Steward didn’t want to miss out. So she gathered her high school and college rings, a bracelet, a broken hoop earring, and an old ring her mother had left her and lined up in the SouthPark store.
After a half-hour wait and a few minutes in an appraiser’s office, she left with a check for $288.
“Basically, I got back almost what I paid for most of it,” said Steward, 45, an accountant who lives in north Charlotte. “I was really shocked.”
