Melania Trump today launched another product to grift off the tapped out MAGA faithful. She has sold NFTs and Christmas ornaments at exorbitant prices since leaving the White House, now she is out with a customizable necklace to commemorate Mother's Day.
The necklace went on sale on Melania's website this morning for the bargain price of just $245.00. You are allowed to have it engraved with a name, initials or date to make it "one-of-a-kind."
But wait, there's more ...
The website states that anyone who purchases a necklace will also receive, free of charge, a limited-edition Melania digital collectable. The best part though is that Melania's signature is engraved on the back. It is also advertised as genuine gold vermeil.

Here I am, trying to fix things again.

(13,018 posts)Trump is blowing through her divorce settlement in fines and legal fees. Would be amazing if her selling of her Va Jay Jay, left her broke and a joke.
She could do some senior nudies for the nursing home gentlemen. Right in line with her morals.
MAGAs would use some Donny donations for those.

(20,769 posts)Is vermeil real gold?
Yes - gold vermeil is considered real gold! For jewelry to be legally regarded as gold vermeil, there must be a layer of at least 10k gold that is 2.5 micron thick (that is 5x thicker than regular plated gold)! The gold plating is usually electroplated over a sterling silver base.
The main difference between gold vermeil and solid gold is that vermeil uses a sterling silver base metal whereas the latter, as the name suggests, is made of just that gold! While gold vermeil may not be considered 100% real gold, thanks to its thick layer of plating, the quality definitely does not fall far behind solid gold jewelry.
They never stop grifting, do they?

(7,920 posts)Shipped to you from a place Somewhere Else, plain cardboard boxes, no questions asked.
First 10 sales covers your costs, the other 990 are pure profit.
I'm thinking of doing the same, but with lawnmowers.
$88 per unit ex factory, local price $220, just storage concerns when that container load lands is stopping me.
Got to find some cheap rental storage space first!

(11,419 posts)Right, MoDo? She has a current column in the NYT claiming (without proof, natch) that Mel is as classy and sophisticated as Jacqueline Kennedy. Funny, even though I was very young at the time, I don't recollect Mrs. Kennedy selling tacky junk under her name.
BTW, what happened to that "book" Mel was working on, the one she was taking pictures for on Jan. 6 so she didn't have the time to tell Donnie to call off his revolting minions?

(20,897 posts)Is that her actual signature? Looks awfully similar to her con man hubby.
40 years ago, I bought a 16", 1/4" wide 14kt. Gold herringbone chain for $200. There is close to one ounce of gold in it. I have had the chain appraised at over $2,000 at a local Jewelry store the other week.
The Black Hills Gold Slider I bought in 2005 at a Gold Diggers store in Deadwood, SD for $125 is now worth over $550. I get a lot of compliments about them.
