Very respectful and knowledgeable jeweller who appreciates more than just the money or jewelery but the history and meaning of the pieces as well. Wonderful episode

Always loved this appraiser. He has the essence of a Mafia fence who went straight.

This fellow is easily the best expert on the show. Just great every time.

I come back to this every now and then. I love this lady’s story.

My favorite jeweler !!!! He is so smart and nice

Awe, I miss my grandma. I love these old stories.

I love the asymmetry of the pearls. Beautiful. What a sweet lady 💕

I love the stories they're priceless

Gotta love all people from Tennessee. Thank you for being on the show and shouting out Tennessee. Sincerely Greg from Maryville

What a lovely woman.

What a very special collection. I’m sure her granddaughters will be thrilled to receive it one day. 🥰

She's adorable. And these two have great chemistry. They need a podcast. ;)

Such a sweet lady!! Adorable

amazing story great woman, never sell them!

what a classy old sweetheart.

*I could watch Kevin Zavian all day long.* _By far the most entertaining appraiser to watch._ *He reminds me of the Italian mafia and the actor who always played a mobster... Dennis Farina. They could be TWINS.*

I think they're beautiful

Not being a native Tennessean I learned something

Love that her nail polish is a pearl colour and finish too

Well, now I know where my pearls came from...thank you AR

love pearls, my own grandmothers' name is *Pearl*

His father Berj preceded him on the show as an appraiser. They and their sister/daughter have a jewelry business together.

Sweet lady!

I didn't know the syndicate is moving into the appraisals racket!

This lady so lovely, complete opposite of that woman with the gold pocketwatch (the one she said her ancestor looted from a dead man in Mexico).

Shows the evils of dams

Sounds like an environmental disaster occurred that I'm afraid to Google....

So, back in the 40ies, the pearl mussels lived in the Tennessee River - and even so much of them, that the pearls were not considered of much value. An then, as so often - our species "played god". The whole biological environment changed, the mussels died out (and i'm very sure not only the mussels) Surely, there had to be a reason to build that dam - but sadly, no one gave a thought that there must be consequences by doing so and now, the mussels (and pearls) are faded memories of the elderly. Such stories make me always so sad. And - as such is happening all around the globe - it saddens me even more. It's an ongoing process of Exploitation and a mindset of "profit/money over environment". We, as human beings, should be able to learn of our mistakes - but instead we seem to further destroy anything and everything we put our greedy hands on! Think about the rainforest a moment: I'm sure there are plants that are able to cure diseases. But instead of making efforts to preserve and look at them scientificly, we destroy them. And not only rainforests, also moores, rivers etc. These are fragile habitats, where one algae, one mineral, plant, insect, frog is involved like the rings of a chain. And, once destroyed, it will never come back. I don't even know, why i felt the need to write this all down and english is clearly not my first language (so - very sorry for that, too) But maybe one person out there did understand what i wanted to point out... So - just in case - Thank you for your patience (and feel free to correct me)

Is that-$2.50 in U.S.Currency or Confederate?
