I wonder what his motivation really could have been? <br /><br />At any rate, the piece has a MEANING to you that is more important than the money he offered.

Perhaps this individual subconsciously made you uncomfortable and therefor you choose not to wear necklaces in order not to attract others. The piece is lovely and you should keep it.
