BIGGEST DIAMOND RING I've ever found inside DECEASED OWNER storage locker I bought at the auction!

Locker Nuts episode 342
This is part 4 of the locker where another bidder "made me pay" by running me up, then bragging about it to his wife on a hot mic accidentally. This 10x15 unit was left behind after the previous owner passed away, and I paid $800 to find out what is in it.
In this episode, we'll take a close look at the paper bag I found, filled with jewelry boxes. This is the real deal folks. This is a fantastic jewelry horde, including a big fat diamond ring, the biggest I've ever found!

When you showed the rings paperwork my jaw dropped! I immediately said, "$10,000 easy retail!" Congrats! Those earrings are amazing, too!

[@piddlemakepuddle]

Everytime that I've had earrings with screw back they were real diamond. They make them screw backs so you don't lose them.

[@gloriapena3649]

Mine are citrine. Yes, it gives you the security you will not loose them. Mine are very old.

[@l7846]

Yep. Screwbacks = real deal. The actual backs are pricey themselves.

Was the other jewelry diamonds?

[@caljet1865]

Don't sell that ring! What you have is Color: I ---DEF(colorless), GHI (slightly colored), JKL (moderate color), MNO (heavy color). Most diamonds fall in the moderate color range. Clarity: F (Internally flawless) very few diamonds have that and are usually registered-like yours. Then VVS1 &VVS2 (Very, very slight flaws not seen by eye), VS1 & VS2 (Very slight inclusions not seen by eye), SI1 & SI2 (slight inclusions seen by eye), S1 & S2 (inclusions seen by eye). Cut: Round brilliant is the most popular shape as opposed to Round. It is a newer cut and gives the most brilliance of any shape. For a stone that is 1.55-anything over 1.50 puts it in a higher price bracket. It may look like a very simple ring, but it is set in a Tiffany 6 prong setting with a white gold bale, which totally brings out your brilliance the most! Your registered ring by today's prices is about 8-10K or more!!! Don't sell it, keep it for your wife-renew your vows or something, give it to her and then you guys can pass it down. You will prob not see another one like it in your lifetime, they are not usually that available. If you need to have it sized-don't let it out of your sight! Have it sized by someone you trust and have them size it or repair it, while you are there watching. The diamond earrings might also be a big surprise to you, as well as the pearls. The older pearls are heavier and worth much more. Pearls with the 14kt or 18kt ball closure are usually a step above and worth about 2k-4k, depending on their size/color. You need to have them and the other diamonds looked at and appraised. The diamond pendant goes in that blue box with the little staple pin. That goes through the pendant's chain holder and then pushed into the felt liner. Fantastic finds for you!!!

[@bethelin]

My uncle owned a jewelry store everything said correct Much love

[@ComprandoDepositosAbandonados]

Excellent comment 👍

[@restingpilgrim3384]

IF is flawless not F The size adds the value as you say still a nice find

[@caljet1865]

The notation for F is also IF, depending on what company is reporting. It is still flawless or internally flawless!

[@caljet1865]

Apparently I was overly conservative in my estimate. Not so much with the color (which is above normal), but the fact of the size, shape and clarity is what bumps the pricing up. To find a 1.55 round brilliant, flawless is amazing and I'm being told it is closer to 15K than the 8-10K

[@lindanoble7124]

How exciting to find that huge diamond ring! Congrats!

[@rongross8993]

Your love of doing this shines through. It is one reason I like watching so much.

[@LockerNuts]

Thanks Jeanette! I do indeed love my job.

[@julieford1182]

I worked for Ben Bridge Jewelers for 12 years and the diamond you found is special. The F stands for color, not flawless as one of the other comments. The measurements are close to ideal cut and that can add 20 % to the value of a graded diamond, as the brilliance is enhanced by having the angles and proportions just right. So when you do sell it, be sure the price reflects the added value of the proper cut. Congratulations

[@oscarmorris6736]

That diamond loose is worth $4,830 and in it's current setting in todays market I'd place it in the $8,000 to $10,000 range retail

Yes Jack the screw back earings are diamonds my diamond earings have screw backs awesome finds Jack! The diamond ring is stunning and I would not sell any of it as scrap they are worth more I think as the real deal they are beautiful.

[@jewels3596]

I've only ever had one pair of earrings that had the threaded posts...screw on. They're real diamonds, my friend. Gorgeous finds in this locker! 😍

[@lindasnyder2493]

I once sold a Mikimoto string of pearl's, with an 18k clasp, for $1600 on eBay! The funny part was that it was mixed in with lots of pieces of costume jewelry In a flat, at a live auction, and I only paid $35 for the entire flat! Good things do happen to good people!

[@amyhendricks3627]

Maybe that large diamond ring came from the Whitehall box? WH? It does look like at least a carat...The Nolan Miller is high end costume. Did the pearls have a necklace and a bracelet? Nice set; the company has been in business since 2003. Nice gold necklace! This is fun!! Pretty white gold ring with the little diamonds :) Screw back is a good sign...they are made like that so one doesn't lose their DIAMONDS !! Very nice treasure, Jack! :)

[@danielcadotte3086]

[@lanitaorjeraldlewisdillorl2258]

The diamond ring: The diamond with an "F" grade is about $11,000 retail plus the gold setting would be another $450

[@saharnachar6255]

But with clarity I1 I will take it down to 3000$ but still pretty awesome find

[@valeriestevens7587]

Usually when you have larger diamonds they out the screw backs one so there is less chance of the backs coming off so you don't loose them. At lest that is my experience.

[@wonderfulbooksofoz]

Happy for you! I liked the Intro too with you walking through the house..such suspense.

[@rebeccabarnes4863]

Jack, I don't think you should sell any of the diamonds or those heavy Gold necklaces. At the very least they are great investments and great family heirlooms. I don't know about the pearls but I know they seem to loose their luster after years. My mom had a beautiful 2 karat ring, it was worth 20 thousand and like a fool I went for sentiment and took my mom's wedding ring and my sister took the 2 karat ring of course at the time I had no idea what it was worth. Then she gives it to her son, who gives it to his wife, who has the diamond taken out and put in a modern white gold setting to be her new wedding ring and she doesn't even like the setting any more. It was set in a beautiful setting that looked like a sunflower and had several small diamonds set on the flower's petals . Moral of the story don't sell the diamonds! I have regretted letting that go everyday since.

[@ontariopicker6343]

Jack, let Janna keep the ring, you can keep the heavier link chain, only fair...

[@lorikodama8212]

That chain looks like it'll be too short for a man tbh.

You can fix the little jewelry box hinge with a sewing straight pin. If it has a really small head then bend both ends, but if not pull the head tight to the hinge and then bend the long end to keep pin tight and then snip off excess...DONT CUT INTO THE BENDS.

[@Tina06019]

Wow! It’s the hunt! A 1.55 carat diamond with good color and relatively low clarity, like that one, would cost at least $4500 to $6000 retail, quite probably more. The thick-ish girdle on that diamond makes it stronger, though it reduces the sparkle. (In my amateur opinion, with a large stone that sits up high in the setting like that one, a slightly thicker girdle might be a plus.). The faint fluorescence makes it worth less than a diamond with no fluorescence. It’s a lovely diamond and a beautiful ring.

I just had a .97 ct near colorless SI1 valued at $4,000. They explained the rating to me and from what they said, I1 would fall into a lower clarity scale but still a very nice diamond.

[@Hollister74]

Do not I repeat do not sell that ring! Give it to the wife along with the necklace and earrings make it a family heirloom. A Whitehall solitaire set in 18k I would say conservitly would be about $10,000 retail at that carot weight. Depending on clarity verification you could be looking at $10,000 easy and that is just the ring! My guess is that the pendant and earrings are each 1/2 carat each, the earrings I would say about $1000.00 retail the pendant between $1000 to $3000 depending on clarity again retail . I could not find a Whitehall solitaire engagement ring in 18k like the one you got however similar but found a 18k 1.4c. diamond solitaire in gold (not as thick in the band) for $25,400 retail. Again make that an anniversary or Christmas gift to your wife!

[@michellepernula872]

Just because you read a stamp doesn't make it what it says, the bails can be replaced and filled while chemical and scratch test results of necklace needs tested as well as the bails and pendants as they can all have different results when people have work done on jewelry (changing out the chain and bails).
