She got the sticker shock of her life.
A woman
fainted in a jewelry shop — after accidentally breaking a $44,000 jade
bracelet.
The woman, a
tourist from eastern Jiangxi province in China, was trying on the bracelet in a
shop in Yunnan province, near the Myanmar border, Tuesday when a salesperson
told her about the bangle’s hefty price tag, according to
People’s Daily.
When she
tried to take the bracelet off, it slipped off her wrist to the floor, where it
broke into two pieces.
Shoppers and
staff attempted to calm the woman, but she started sweating, turned pale and
fainted over the jewelry display, according to the report.
Staffers told
the woman they would lower the price of the bracelet to $25,000 to resolve the
matter, but the woman said she could only afford to pay $1,500.
Police were
unable to get the two parties to reach an agreement according to BBC.
