Melania Trump resurfaced over the weekend with a message on social media posted just one day ahead of opening arguments in Donald Trump’s criminal trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.

The pendant is gold vermeil, which is typically silver that’s been plated with at least 10-karat gold
Buyers will also receive a “digital collectible.”
