The jewel-encrusted pendant, which is in the shape of LeBron James' jersey, is worth nearly $10,000.
WEWS Channel 5's story about the Akron woman's purchase says she paid $200 to have it appraised after a local jeweler told her the diamonds she thought were fake were in fact real.
Robinson, 20, who is an amateur boxer, saved $200 to pay for a certified appraisal by the International Gemological Institute. The pendant she paid $5 for four years ago is worth nearly $10,000. She's put the jewelry up for sale on E-Bay.
Despite the backlash caused by James' decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and play for the Miami heat, Robinson believes the pendant will sell for top dollar.
