On doing Research I found that <strong>Pgda stands for Piercing Pagoda<\/strong>, more than likely where the item was bought.<\/p>\n<p><strong>S. Steel, means that it&#8217;s made out of Stainless Steel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As Far as the Worth, I could Not Answer that. Stainless Steel probably <strong>does not hold much Resell Value<\/strong> if that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re asking. It&#8217;s not like Gold where Jewelers can Melt it down and Reuse it again. The Demand is probably Not There.<\/p>\n<p>But at least Stainless Steel is Extremely Durable, will last a Lifetime <strong>and Never Tarnish!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hope This Helps!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>RELATED ARTICLES:<\/h2>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/what-is-the-mohs-scale\/\"><strong>Steel on the MOH&#8217;s Scale of Hardness!<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/marks-stamped-inside-rings\/\"><strong>Stamp Marks Inside Ring!<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/unidentified-stamps-inside-rings\/\"><strong>Unidentified Stamp Marks on Jewelry!<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/what-do-the-numbers-inside-your-ring-mean\/\"><strong>What do the Number Stamps inside Rings Mean?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>A Reader Writes in and Asks Me a&#8230; QUESTION: MONICA IN EASTON, PA, WRITES: What does Pgda S.
