after decades of watching this show I have to say that this is one of my most favorite reactions ever
I watch these and feel like everyone but me had an important wealthy relative that left behind something. I got some Tupperware bowls with mismatched lids! 😂
My Tupperware didn’t even have lids 😞
That was my very first thought when I saw this.
I used to feel like that. Now I don't think about it.
Wow, what a LIFE this great aunt had! An opera singer who later became a duchess..
That hug at the end was just what I needed today... :)
don't know, didn't look like the historian was super into it
Its not a royal crown..
Its a five pointed ducal coronet...which fits the Duke marriage i suppose.
Why do you know this?
@@ahmedmuhammed4906 books are great.
Whatever it is I like it
Thank you I was hoping someone would point this out
Looks like a lot more than 20k worth! One of a kind. Lost value when altered from a ring to a pendant...But still, an awesome inheritance!
A requirement to be an appraiser on the Antique Roadshow is you have to be willing to get hugs when you tell them good news lol
I hope she doesn't sell it. it's so beautiful. wish her mom never changed it. it mustve looked stunning as a ring
I would not have taken the maker's name out. It adds value.
Imagine the stories that are shared by family and friends surrounding a beautiful treasure like that. I totally agree that “Not for sale” should become the first response to interested parties.
@@fabulouslifeinchrist1349 It's still one of a kind, but yea
Probably would’ve been more if it stayed a Ring
I literally thought the same thing and then this was the first comment I saw lol
You betcha.
What a lovely reaction to the valuation. :-)
that lady got so excited.. it looked way more vauluable
Reminds me of a claddagh (?) ring. Arms around heart, crown on top.
Absolutely EXQUISITE!!! 💖💎💍💎💖 What a priceless item to have to pass down along with a VERY cool story behind it!!! 😍💘💐
Hey, That piece goes a little bit beyond words: elaborate, stunning, and exquisite initially come to mind! And that still doesn't do it justice. It is beyond exquisite.
WOW, that brooch is magnificent! 💎
My favorite design... this must have been the most stunning ring!!!
I'm certain she can confirm its make with the The Dukes estate records. The Royal families often used particular jewelers and or dealers consistently. Or family heirloom.
Meanwhile the most expensive gifts i receive from my aunts is pack of firework and a kilo of avocado
harry haluester Some people don't even receive the luxury of gifts.
avocados are awesome though
harry haluester LMAO 😂
Too bad you value most what you can steal from an old lady. You disgust me.
Naga Hitam 😂😂😂😂at least it’s healthy 😂
Should've stayed a ring
It would have been valued at more had it not been adjusted to be a pendant. Hallmarks are important! Ya'll have to remember too that antique jewelry pieces are valued at their metal worth, stone worth, style, and maker. Not by she, not just because they're old. If there's not a huge name attached ( Tiffany, Van Cleef) and not a rare stone (like a Burmese ruby) the value will be significantly lower cause collectors aren't looking fur that type of item.
Yeah the design is too busy for an engagement ring✨💍✨so it looked better as a pendant or brooch. But I wonder if it will be appraised more if it is in the original ring setting? $20k dollars is just average for that jewery coz the diamonds are fine.
I learned what a Coloratura Soprano was when I saw the opera 'Lucia di Lammemore" in Norfolk. The song that the female sang at the end was UNBELIEVEABLE!
What a gorgeous brooch/pendant
That look on her face! i hope it stays in the family for generations upon generations.
For anyone wondering, the duchess's first husband was Richard Hagerman, a Dutch musician who did indeed conduct at the Metropolitan Opera, and went on to write the scores for John Ford films such as "Stagecoach" and "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Hageman
Ive never seen a hug reaction, that was sweet
That must have been a huge ring. I hope she keeps it thats an heirloom.
I really disliked that it was changed from a ring but its still stunning
Best reaction I’ve ever seen
I was expecting way more than 20K, like at least 100K
Diamonds aren't really worth that much, esp 2nd hand.
I can't believe you're idea that second hand diamonds aren't worth that much. Tell that to Harry Winston.
No, it's only around 5 carats, with lots of small stones and the main stone is only 1 carat plus and also old cuts are less expensive because they have less facets. But it is beautiful.
@@randomtux392
Diamonds have kept their value of the last few hundred years.
What a shame to loose the hallmarks that would tell the whole story of the pieces origins!
What a waste. My grandmothers jewelry is absolutely priceless to me. I hope she keeps it in her family.
That's the beauty of private property people can sell in a market economy.
Omg! So beautiful!
you're beautiful, cookie. may I take you on a date?
@@PiranhaJaw22 i take it she said no
Lovely piece
Underrated for sure! Over 5 Carat in good diamonds alone plus 18carat gold plus platinum plus provenance!
What a stunning piece of jewellery!
Why are so many of these people surprised by the value? They own the piece, they know it has gold and diamonds. It's 20000, not 2 million.
That's it?! The 2 carat solitaire I inherited is valued at $19,000.
J Kim But yours wasn’t castrated and the maker’s mark removed.
Hug was awesome
I'd keep it! 20k isn't enough for that!
What a lovely reaction ❤
I would wear that until it disintegrated
That was once a ring?!! One word “gaudy.”
That's huge for a ring, but are you going to sell such a precious piece of jewelry????
THATS ALL???
Thats the most beautiful and interesting piece i think ive ever seen
I expected 5 million or something
Lea!! She’s the best!!
I see a smiling bear!🤣
However....it is still beautiful!!!
Looks to me like there's a signature easily seen at 1:35 , just to the right of the pin, a little below where the pin curves to the right, under the diamond. I feel like I can see the letters "T" and "U", and maybe an "A". is anyone else seeing that?
$20,000 USD???? I would have expected a bit more, and Kanye West and the Kardashians and even Paris Hilton spend $500,000 and up for their wedding rings
$20K ??? That sounds like an estimate for scrap. I can't imagine that would be enough to purchase the piece today at retail.
That broach is worth a lot more than that, I believe.
A royal piece at a royal price.
Glad she didn’t tell her it would be a million if her Mother didn’t change it.
As a jeweler that worked with estate pieces, I’m going to say 20k sounds low. But.. I’m not the famous appraiser on Antiques Roadshow so… 🤷♀️
So beautiful
Should be much more. I would have appraised again.
Talk about way off price! These diamonds look like they are mine European cut, 10 to 15 times more than 20,000.00
Super gaudy.
❤️❤️❤️
It should've stayed a ring. Not that it isnt still beautiful.
The bale on that is disgraceful. It should be a hidden bail.
Also the hallmark on the piece would have been on the ring, not on the diamond setting.
If the bale is that bit on top where the chain attaches, I completely agree. It doesn’t even look worthy of fine jewelry. And who removes hallmarks without at least documenting them first?! They were put there for a reason!
Sad never should of touched the ring.
They Only give you Conservative Insurance Estimate of Value Insurance always Value things Way Below there Actual Cost that's Why You always Over Insure for the Cost of the Current Replacement Value if Stolen or Destroyed or Lost.
@jay fine do you realize you just said the Exact same thing I Said.
taught it would be much more
Please , don't point with a sharp edged metal screwdriver at and in the vicinity of such an object . Use a wooden peg or plastic pointer of some kind . Sometimes one sees this also being done with valuable watches . It is so easy , just make use of wood or plastic , or something of soft and non scratching material . Then no accidents can happen , and the spectators can watch any indicating movements without ending up at the edge of their seats , whilst observating the explanations .
Ha, I was expecting her to value it at $500,000.
appraiser wishes it was bananas
2:00
...God, these appraisers ALWAYS lowball this precious/ancient/unusual jewelry.../
Rips apart a beautiful ring to make a stupid brooch.
I would of sold it for a quarter of nugs and 3 packs of Marlboro Reds shorts
Of course you would
The evaluator sounded thoroughly disappointed by what the owner's mother did. I mean, I'm no expert, but it feels like that she did not deserve that jewelry at all. It's like gold plating an antique golden watch. She ruined it, literally ruined it.
You people are so weird. You don't get to decide for someone else. Myself, I think a ring that size is ridiculous. A woman would have to have huge hands to wear something like that, and it would be heavy and constantly in the way. It's much more functional as a pendant.
@@ssansu We are entitled to having an opinion just as you have one. We wouldnt be commenting on her choices if we could have decided for her.

It’s OPERA not Op. ugh
Me - 20 grand ? hummm ...ok .
Kaching, show me the money.
Sorry, lady, I doubt it was ever a ring. You're family got their stories mixed up over the decades.
It might have been an engagement gift, but not all engagement jewelry were rings back then.
the black womans hot
Now she has to pay to insure it, or she should.
I hope she never sells it. Would have loved to see it as a ring.
Theres no way she would get that price at auction. Not original and no jeweler name lowers value significantly.
20k is the value as is. If it hadn’t been altered and with the maker’s mark, I’d say 35k to 40k, maybe higher on a good day. I do feel like the maker could possibly be researched, as this wasn’t an assembly line piece, but made for a duke, and the dukedom probably had specific jewelers they favored. Wouldn’t be easy, but I think definitely possible.
@
It's much more then 20K. The removal of the shank & mark decreased the value. The add-on stem is a bad taste. The duchess should have her engagement ring auctioned and gave her niece the money, and let someone who can admire the jewelry design have the ring. This is just an example that a piece of art was given to a person with no taste at all.
Sounds like a golddigger lol
Prince Philip would have died to have that ;)
Relax it’s a joke
It looks really tacky...
Thank God you were not cursed with ownership of this piece. You can breathe a huge sigh of relief and go through your days knowing you avoided that terrible burden.
I see $$ in her eyes,she was wanting to hear a higher price
Because she did very well on her background checks
😫
Be careful the black women doesn't steal it off ya
YO
Can’t believe that racist white woman hugged her
