    As clarity into the valuation of this item, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW appraisals place the value in context. This example is an auction estimate, which is typically lower than a retail or insurance estimate. A combination of factors including material quality, comparable items in the marketplace, and consultation with other experts led to the appraiser’s estimate. Most importantly: ANTIQUES ROADSHOW is an appraisal event and television production; we do not buy or sell objects, and conducting business with an appraiser at the ANTIQUES ROADSHOW event in strictly prohibited. ANTIQUES ROADSHOW trades solely in information!

      You obviously recognize that there is a GLARING problem with either the appraisal, the viewers uneasiness or both for you to have posted this. While I can appreciate AR providing this comment, it pertains to all items featured on your show. The better way to address this particular issue, would be to provide a statement that is directed at this item very specifically. I'd like to suggest something more along the lines of an update about this specific item and its then owner: Did she gift it to a museum/memorial after the show? Did she sell it? If so, through what channel(s) and avenue(s)? Most importantly, if she did sell it, ask her if she was approached with an offer to represent the sale. If she initiated the sale, who did she reach out to and from where did that recommendation come. Just because appraisers sign contracts indicating they will not be solicitous towards guests, is not a guarantee that it never happens. This is the basic foundation, principle number one if you will, of the entire premise of the show, and AR's reputation is at stake. If there is an instance of "trickery" for personal gain that comes to light, you better hope AR breaks the story and not a report from outside the company. All it would take is one viewer in that city with a decently sized social media account to do one blast of her picture, and her identity would be known within 16 hours. I bet she'd be happy to come forward and tell the public what happened after she left the show. If it's not favorable towards that appraiser, it's even less favorable towards AR. That could be enough to cancel your show. As a viewer, I honestly thought you had a system in place with a much stronger protocol that has some type of follow up (even if it's done randomly) than what you seem to have. Which is simply trusting the 100's of appraisers that appear on your show to be ethical in dealing with guests. If there is a game, is there a producer that's in on it, too?

      @@B_Bodziak It's out of their hands. Tracking down the owner after an evaluation to find where an item currently resides isn't a part of the AR business model. Do I think the evaluation was low? Yes. Do we know the true weight of the metal or carat weight of gems? No. We can only speculate. It's only a red flag to someone who trades metals or gemstones. 95% of the viewers probably weren't hung up on this appraisal so it's not like they really have to save any face. Just UA-cam comments damage control. All that said, I hope the lady didn't undersell it... They sometimes do a "what is it worth now" segment where they show market changes. I wouldn't be surprised if they 'correct' this appraisal on an upcoming episode claiming the value has increased due to market change... Very intriguing appraisal and I appreciate your thoughts.

      @@threefortytwo23 I appreciate your comments and understand the meaning of what you're saying. In AR's comment, I would have liked for AR to expand a bit on whether or not an appraiser is restricted from offering to represent the owner's item in an auction house or store after the appraisal. Is an appraiser or his/her associates allowed to reach out to an owner after filming to offer to purchase or to sell the item? What I MOST want to know from AR is what parameters do they have in place to prevent a fraud situation. My reply to AR's comment was written under the influence of being highly annoyed! I wanted reassurance that procedures were in place at AR so the audience could feel assured that this appraiser did not and could not take advantage of this lady.

    Hi all - a few years late here. I’m her son and I can’t tell you how excited we were for mom to get the chance to be on ARS with the zarf. It was one of dads favorite things and also favorite shows. I came back to find this because apparently they reappraised it on their show tonight for 5-7k.
    The zarf has not been sold. It holds a great memory and it’s been very entertaining to see how many people notice how much my mom loved Pat and also how many people can give varying appraisals 😂
    Side note: my mom worked in a middle school at the time and one of her classes made a “wow” remix from this episode just for her 😂

    I always enjoy reading all the expert opinions from the internet experts , who’ve never done the job ever . It’s so easy to criticise a estimate , remember that word estimated value , on an object you haven’t held , or examined closely , other than on your tv . On the plus side I’m delighted for her to get a surprise about its use , as well as the joy of its possible value . She probably looked up at the sky that night with a glass of wine in her hand and smiled at the memories her and her shared together . Maybe even the enjoyment of collecting beautiful objects like this .

      Take your old diamond ring and try to sell it. You'll get a low ball offer. Diamonds are very common and the amount of diamonds in circulation are controlled by Debeers. Unless the diamonds have a name brand attached, like Tiffany, or belonged to someone quite famous like Marie Antoinette, the value for resale just isn't there. There has to be interest in a piece to drive up value as well, and my guess is not that many people are looking for a fancy coffee cup. Plus, he gave the auction estimate which is always lower than retail. It's not a lowball offer at all.

I also buy at auctions every single week and understand that you get great deals at auctions and then sell the items that you purchase for RETAIL. Do you know the difference between those? Can you give me links to ones that have sold at auction for between 10 and 15 Thousand dollars. You are accusing a professional of being and "Idiot" so I hope that you can back up what you say with recorded sales.

    People, get a grip. The appraisers don't come up with these values in a vacuum. They consult one another on the scene. They do internet research on the spot. And keep in mind that the zarf is relatively small. When they zoom in, it looks like a goblet but in fact it's probably not even big enough to hold the equivalent of a shot glass.

    Old mine cut diamonds are not very valuable and that wasn’t a lot of gold so most of the value comes from the age but the item is not rare nor does it have a fantastic provenance so the appraisal is probably about right

    While it's impressive to hear the appraiser's explanation of the piece, it a little sad that the owner of many pieces showcased on the Antique's Roadshow know pretty much nothing about it. Why, when you have something for decades of such important family history/value do you know nothing about it. A bit of an insult, to the piece that is.

    i know i'm 4 years later on this post but what??? $3k?? i have 25yrs on the wholesale/manufacturing experience on 47th street. so i am fully aware of the price per carat for rose-cut diamonds and the price per pennyweight to cast 18kt gold. on the conservative side, that zarf has 8cts of diamonds likely closer to 10-12, even upwards to 15ct. i cant fathom how heavy it is but would wager it is at least 50dwt...and he tells her it is worth $3k?? was that for scrap value?? coincidently, (just referenced melt prices - comparable to 2018 prices) and wouldn't you know it, at 50dwt, $3k is exactly how much that gold is worth melted down. and ARS, to say 'auction' prices are lower is than retail...for really??? auction prices do NOT start at 'scrap value' and exclude 10ctw of diamonds, nor would it exclude the price for it being 150 years old. since i know that, i know you guys know that. that said, i really hope that woman takes it to a proper auction house for an evaluation. epic fail.
