We're all familiar with the expression "you get what you pay for" but are these pricey luxuries really worth the penny (more like thousands of dollars)?

Forbes' article "Last-A-Lifetime Accessories" claims these are well worth it because they would have held their value for the next 25 years or more thanks to impeccable construction and distinct understated designs.

The pearls would make a nice heirloom but is that the cost of passing a little piece of you down to your children's children? I don't know about you but, I can find a million other ways to enjoy $36,000 rather than flaunting it around my neck (like on a very reliable vehicle). What do you think?
