A possible answer to the question that started this thread: what could attract folks? ...

... well, perhaps the 'family resemblance' to something like THIS.

In you opinion, is that resemblance too little or too much for the orders of magnitude in price difference ? Can't quite make up my mind on that

I like this one. Is that a forked tongue touching the pearl where the snake's head ends? The mixed metals also appeal to me. Is it yours, or did you just find the photo?

No... not mine by an arm length. The link to the source (Rau Jewelry) is under 'THIS' in the post above. That gree shade doesn't quite stand out to point to links in text
