QUESTION FROM MONICA IN EASTON, PA:
Question :
What does Pgda S. Steel mean? It's on a Necklace. Is it worth anything?
ANSWER FOR MONICA:
Hi Monica.
The first letters of the stamp Pgda stand for the manufacturer of the necklace. On doing research I found that Pgda stands for Piercing Pagoda, more than likely where the item was bought.
S. Steel, means that it's Stainless Steel.
As far as the worth, I could not answer that. Stainless Steel probably does not hold much resell value if that's what you're asking. It's not like Gold where Jewelers can melt it down and reuse it again. The demand is probably not there.
But at least Stainless Steel is extremely durable, will last a lifetime and never tarnish!
Hopefully this helps!
