Mine too! 👍🏼

Yes, it's all just stunning. So much thought put into it.

@able adelaide. I agree, she's great!!🙏❤️

If she was any of those things you mention, she would return the ring to the person she bought it from and let them know it isn't costume jewelry and get her $30 back and let them have the prize that was rightfully theirs. But she didn't.....because she's a dishonest, greedy pig

It doesn’t look like an asscher to me, more like an emerald center.

Plus her top! She has a great eye! Except her hairdo, but I’ll give her a pass heh

Yes, you're absolutely right. Her inquisitive disposition is as exquisite as the ring. Just wow!

@@chrisrandall2710 That was rude, she seems like a very sweet woman. She's lovely

@@danacaro-herman3530 i gave her a pass on the hair cuz she was so sweet! I liked her! Sorry if u felt I was rude...maybe she drove in in a convertible, top down... either way, I like her and wasn’t really judging

@@danacaro-herman3530 Sweet people can have shitty hair. lol

Even safety pinned to drapery. 💍

My mom told me to turn over every leaf in the house when she passes away someday. Oh goodness

We did that. My aunt brought us over a box full of costume jewelry when my sister and I were little. Her kids were grown and she thought we'd like to play with it. There was a white bracelet with red and blue stones. Years later she asked my mom if we still had it (we didn't). Turns out the bracelet was ivory and the stones were rubies and sapphires. It's probably buried in a landfill somewhere. :(

And also dont pass off silver jewelry with stones. Many assume that costume jewelry made with silver has rhinestones pasted on it. Double check. Some have precious and semi precious stones in it.

What if someone had a gun to your head and demanded to sell it? Would you still never sell it?

It's beautiful ring, but I think I'd rather have the money.

@@wteverisgud Why do you have to be so stupid?

@@cremebrulee4759 Why do you have a stupid name?

John Morris, if someone had a gun to your head they wouldn’t be trying to force a sale but a steal😁😁

because metal detecting is a waste of time. you're better off doing some detecting in yard sales.

I think it's unusual, but really ugly!

Right??😬 oh goodness!

Yes. She already knew the general value of the ring before the show.

Lol - I’d be afraid to wear it anywhere after that!!

I agree. I’m no expert, but I valued it at $40-50K.

*its

Sad point to note, despite the high craftsmanship, quality of stone and metal, if it doesn't belong to the High Jewellery Brigade it doesn't get as high a price! Brand names, be it big jewellery houses or exclusive designers, elevate prices immensely! 😕 That's why the antique dealer gave it a conservative estimate. There was no proof of provenance.

@@andiemorgan961 Well, aren’t you the life of the party! 🙄

@@krj55575 Sorry you can't handle reality! I have great fun at parties thanks, especially the ones where I get to wear my Jacob & Co. jewellery!🤣

Imagine if your husband gives you this ring for your anniversary?

Never give up! It could happen.

They check that stuff with a fine tooth comb. An estate sale.....maybe.

It was probably a church auction. Bingo game !!!!

😂

DO NOT use Holy

Often, antique, vintage rings are for small fingers. Most folks today couldn't wear it w/o refitting.

...More like demanding it back. Never underestimate people's crazy when it comes to money.

Maury-style!

Actually I think he may be a bit dubious of where and how she got the ring. Something about her story didn’t sit with me. He seemed nervous talking to her. She seems like one of those ladies who does home health care who may have accidentally found that in her scrubs pocket when she got home.

@@flophilp I don’t know. I once paid $5.00 At a second hand shop for a CZ in Silver. It was pretty and I thought I would put it in my daughters dress up box. I literally wore it home that day. Stopped at the Mall to get a watch battery at a jewelry store. While there the lady putting the watch battery in complimented my Ring. Said it looked very vintage. She put it under a loop , sure enough it was a Diamond from the 1920s. I kept it and wear it myself. I have not had it appraised but do know that it is actually a Diamond. Point is, you never know. People get jewelry in the strangest ways. Doesn’t mean they stole it.

@@flophilp - Really terrible of you to make those assumptions/accusations, accusing her of theft. You don’t know her at all but willing to judge her like that. Very limited perception on your part. This woman looked and sounded like a genuine, interesting and likely kind person.

@@flophilp What a strange, rude, and bold assumption to make about someone based on nothing besides her appearance. The appraiser is probably nervous because there’s a TV camera pointed at him and there’s nothing to indicate that this woman made up her story. The nerve of some people…

@@flophilp People think others will do what they themselves would do in similar circumstances...

Not sure the name- calling is necessary. I think it's fair to say that, in the aftermath of someone's death, their family isn't rushing out to have each item appraised. What a nightmare --- a lot of elderly die destitute or close to it. Imagine this was there all along and dementia robbed them of a chance to explain. One person's fantasy is another person's nightmare is another person's fantasy.

Bozo, 🤣🤣. Yup, I am surprised by how many ppl get rid of " junk" at yard sales because they are ignorant or don't care. If it's something they value or question, they can take it to jeweler for an appraisal fee of about $100. Do e this a few times myself

@@arisucheddar3097 true that.

If she had taken it to the pawn shops in my area, they would have told her that it was a CZ and only pay her for the band. She would probably walk out of the shop with $50, while they pocket some real money. I learned my lesson about pawn shops when I went to see how much they pay for gold jewelry that my mom had left us. And don't ever tell one pawn shop that another pawn shop offered you less, because then they believe that they need to offer you less also. One of them offered my sister $60 for an 18K gold necklace with a peridot stone, surrounded by a couple small diamonds. Of course, she walked.

Oh, the PAIN...

The kind of idiots I'd love to buy stuff from :)

Auction house in New Zealand put a reserve of $25000 on a pair of Georgian Irish candlesticks.They sold for $250000..becos in Ireland..they were worth over double. The dealer that bought them made a fortune.

They probably weren't jewelers. Happens more often than you think.

Probably a church auction. Bingo game !!!!!!

Excellent comment! I’ve seen a few rings in which an aggregate of diamonds are arranged to appear as one large stone, but I have never seen one this spectacular, and the workmanship was so fine that it took the experts some time to conclude that it was one smallish center diamond encircled by rhomboidal cut supporting diamonds. I love this ring!

@@theknitwit7098 thank you! I love it too!

@@Annbakermodel It’s nice to come across another person online who has exquisite taste! I have never been crazy about ‘composite’ engagement rings, but this one broke the mold. I may ask my jeweler to make something similar for me!

@@theknitwit7098 🙂 you should! It is beautiful! Nice to meet you too.
