Estate Sale Story

I met a friend at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago.

After I'd found all my treasures, checked out and loaded my

Jeep, I went back in the house to see if he needed any help.

He was checking out and said I should look around one more

time.  "You never know what you'll find!", he said.

So I dug through a big basket of junkie jewelry...metal,

adjustable bands, plastic....and came across this ring in

a plastic envelope.  The band looked too fancy to be junk.

Everything in the basket was $4, so I bought it!

 Once home, I took a closer look....10KT gold! And a

natural mined peridot stone (you can tell by a couple of tiny flaws

in it that you don't get with synthetic stones...tiny black specks).

Pretty cool, right?  And $4.00?  And guess what...it was my size!

I took it to a jeweler to have the stone set and got to pick 

it up today.  They said it's Victorian era and with the

intricacy of the band, it's worth about $1,000.

Kind of looks like a crown, doesn't it?

Hmmm....princess crown or Wonder Woman crown? haha.

I thought they did a really nice job with the setting!

They polished it up and took a little bend out

of the back of the band.  Fun, fun!
Do you go to estate sales?

You should!  Because "You never know what you'll find!"
