An Ohio woman who paid $5 at a yard sale for a LeBron James pendant she thought was costume jewelry has found out it's worth nearly $10,000.
Twenty-year-old Vaneisha Robinson says she used to wear the basketball jersey-shaped pendant to high school when she didn't know its value. Then she had it appraised.
The International Gemological Institute says Robinson's find is the real deal. Gemologist Jerry Ehrenwald says the 14-karat white gold pendant sports more than 2 carats of diamonds.
The No. 23 jersey reads "King" on the front and "James" on the back.
Robinson is an amateur boxer in James' hometown of Akron, Ohio. She has listed the jewelry on eBay.

Topdawg13New MemberOhio woman: Carter took pendant
Vaneisha Robinson had the basketball jersey-shaped white gold pendant appraised and put it for sale on eBay.
She says she got a phone call Wednesday from the mother of Maverick O. Carter, the CEO for James' marketing company. She says the woman told her James wanted to buy the pendant but when she went to the woman's house James wasn't there and other people threatened her and took it.
Wadsworth police Sgt. James Elchlinger says he determined the pendant belongs to Carter.Carter says it had been stolen from him.
Robinson tells WEWS-TV the pendant belongs to her and she wants it back.
Easy come, easy go I guess. The more I hear about James, and his crew, the more they sound like a bunch of douche-bags.

Topdawg13New MemberCops: Ohio woman suspected in theft
Wow, now the woman is a suspect in the pendant's theft.
The police incident report obtained Friday identified Vaneisha Robinson, 19, of Akron, as a suspect in the receiving stolen property investigation but didn't elaborate. No immediate arrests were made and police didn't immediately return calls Friday.
The white gold diamond-studded pendant is in the shape of James' basketball jersey. Maverick O. Carter, the CEO for James' marketing company, says it was stolen from him three years ago.
Robinson, an amateur boxer, said she bought it four years ago for $5 at a yard sale, recently got it appraised and put it for sale on eBay. She was on TV in Cleveland on Tuesday discussing her surprise at its value.One day later, she received a call and was invited to the Carter house and was told James would be there to make a pendant offer she couldn't refuse.
But James wasn't there and a crowd of eight or nine people forced her to give up the pendant, she said. "I was scared for my life," Robinson told WEWS-TV.
"They pretty much accused me, they threatened me," Robinson said. "They told us that we weren't going anywhere until they got that pendant."
Police Sgt. James Elchlinger said he was able to determine that the item was one-of-a-kind and belonged to Carter. Police were checking for a theft/loss report.
