Della sells their beautiful hair for $20 and buys a platinum chain for Jim’s golden watch. because Jim’s golden watch has a bad leather chain and is also broken. So, Della decided to buy a Platinum Chain for Jim’s Golden watch.
On the side, Jim sold their golden watch to buy a set of combs with pure tortoiseshell with jeweled rims because Della had been dressing a set of jeweled combs. That’s why he bought this.
