They're asking what price?
I was following links to see what the inspiration for a lj-friend's project is -- the original is a caplet from Anthropologie. I was *totally* distracted by the fact that this model is wearing a crocheted necklace.
A crocheted necklace that cost $198 -- and is the Hemp Flowers Necklace that I made this spring.
They're making it out of mercerized cotton and lurex, so the yarn isn't any more expensive than the hemp I used (and quite probably less), and yet they're charging almost $200 dollars for it? bwuh?
Is this highway robbery or am I severely undercharging when I make stuff on commision? Is the Anthropologie brand so prestigious that they can charge just so you have the privilege of saying "Oh, this little thing? I bought it at Anthropologie"?

Frankly, the Anthropologie one strikes me as possibly looking tacky, as it's made of cotton and lurex. I'd have to see one for sure, and I'm not going to go to the local Anthropologie store just to check.
