Dorian held up the necklace to inspect it and turned it back and forth so it glinted in the moonlight. "Exquisite craftsmanship. I shall have to get this appraised as soon as possible. Are you able to tell how much things are worth?"
"No," Ruby replied honestly. She left out the fact that she knew amethyst wasn't worth much based on personal experience.
She truly couldn't appraise the value of a gem or jewelry piece at a glance but she did have a vague idea of what sold the best after spending so much time around jewelers. Precious stones always did better than semiprecious ones but even those could be hit and miss depending on the clarity of the gems.
"A pity," Dorian sighed. "No matter. I expect you to do this again a few days from now when your powers recharge. And I hope you are aware that you are not allowed to step foot outside of this barrier. If you do, the contract will be void and you and the baby will die."
