That Victorian convertible ring to bracelet was SPECTACULAR

[@thegalhorowitz]

that thing is insane. They need to make it again, Id pay more than 1500 euros for that ring today.

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

But also rather fragile.

[@itabrennan7420]

It really was.😮😊

The jewellery experts are always so eloquent and passionate in their appraising.

[@edinacloud5968]

Their knowledge of the symbolism of every stone is so charming.

[@johnlighton7025]

I was really hoping to hear him say.... Karl Fabergé.

[@birdlover7776]

Agree I love their enthusiasm

[@channonperry3420]

I agree! I do miss the pretty hostess and the footage of the roadshow in beautiful locations in these short cuts though.

[@indigocheetah4172]

Geoffrey Munn is a poet, I enjoy his eloquent way of describing the beautiful gems.

[@christophersayrs907]

The "concertina" ring is just fascinating. I've never seen that, let alone heard of it. What a great family treasure.

[@Ralph_Sandwich]

I read your comment and then saw the Concertina a few minutes later and WOW you weren't kidding. The ring turn into a braclet!!!!!!!

[@donmacquarrie9161]

he valued it way too low and got the dating wrong- plus it looked like a ruby - not a garnet

[@justme6773]

So nice to see a jewelry compilation. I wish they'd do more of these.

[@msstarlight4770]

I'm really interested in jewellery, especially older pieces. I wish there was more of these clips, they're the ones I watch the most.

[@augustacorns]

There are so many collectors and vintage jewelry enthusiast on KZbin. Jason Adams is one who is phenomenal. another one is Lady Sylvia . check them out.

[@ShinySuccubus]

you should get a book called ‘Stoned’ - it has a big emerald on the front cover. you’ll love it

[@msstarlight4770]

@@augustacorns Thank you, I definitely will. 👍🙂👍

[@msstarlight4770]

Oh wow, that ring/bracelet combo was just incredible.

[@dallassukerkin6878]

The lady at the end was delightful - I hope that knowing that the jade ring was so valuable won't stop her enjoying it.

[@sharonstromley9350]

These prices would be higher in 2024 and even higher here in the U.S. The trends now tend to be more sleek or tailored if you will but this is my favorite too. Well done and thank you to the persòn who put it together!

[@west06007]

The yellow brazilian diamond is just amazing!

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

I agree. It deserves to be reset in a nicer ring though...

[@suefergusson5351]

The clear sapphire is gorgeous, looks like a celonese sapphire; that bracelet/ring was amazing

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

You're probably right about the origin of the sapphire. Sri Lanka* is famous for its "forget-me-not" coloured sapphires. (* I've been corrected about the name by my Tamil neighbours...)

[@CoolCoyote]

what a fascinating statement 'its us who are the ephemeral things' I never thought about this obvious thing before. as we die but gems last seemingly forever or rather diamonds at least.

[@GOLD_FEVER]

Not just diamonds. Most gems last for a very long time. Think about how long ago they were formed and how well they have survived in nature up till we get to see them in our jewelry.

[@chlorophyllheart]

I loved his words after that also - "this scintillation, this return of light is really quite inimitable". Wow. Light is what allows us to see anything, but I think of it a little deeper, that the most beautiful things are the reflecting and creating of light.

[@CoolCoyote]

@@chlorophyllheart absolutely right

[@CoolCoyote]

@@chlorophyllheart haha yes an emanation of light it is an almost living body of timeless light

[@tardaboveall491a]

00's fashion was something else.

[@donnabuttery9316]

Loved this...I love old jewellery....❤

[@silviaterracciano4513]

I also enjoy their enthusiasm during their appraisals.

[@ahamilton4021]

Really enjoyed the yellow Brazilian diamond, as the gal seemed genuinely interested in learning and the curator was very informative and encouraging.

[@jone7079]

I get all giddy and love struck looking at all the sparkles & colors - absolutely beautiful, thankyou for sharing your treasures for us all to see - that was so awesome to watch 🩵

[@maliamock7642]

Sometimes the families have been told ALL the stories the previous owner had been told or had LIVED thru. Other times they know next to nothing. I wish the young lady’s gramma had shared any of her stories she had because that treasure chest was so cool! The stories are so much fun. I think I need to record/document my jewelry so my kids and grands know what the stories are and that it’s ok if they want the money instead of keeping things in a box.

[@lmae989]

All fabulous. With the exception of the stunning jade collection - IMO I honestly think they undervalue the items a bit. They are all spectacular - I bet in the USA if sold these pieces with their associated history would be bought for almost quadruple the assessed value. Such amazingly beautiful jewelry💎

[@tattyuk75]

The little Lalique ring is gorgeous. So delicate and in such good condition. I bet they’d sold it somewhere before they’d even got home. I hope the current owner enjoys the piece for what it is. Incidentally, the lady in the red top in the background looked so interested, at one point, I thought she’d pull up a seat at the table 😂 The yellow Brazilian diamond ring is breathtaking, very simple and definitely something I’d enjoy wearing.

[@chrisgeorge84]

Looked like 2 praying mantis’ holding hands and the white heart kinda makes it look like a mantis face.

[@slayorcs]

It's just so stunning. Of all the jewellery it piqued my interest the most.

[@tessie1979]

​@chrisgeorge84 that's what I thought too. It reminded me of my preying mantis.

[@chrisgeorge84]

@@tessie1979right? Looks cool like 2 lovers holding hands. Even though the female eats the male in the wild lol.

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

​@@chrisgeorge84 May I suggest you look up the Belle Époque jewellery by Lalique and others like Fabergé... Every piece was influenced by nature. With yellow gold, green, and pearl white the most popular combinations.

[@dalehoward5416]

I LOVE the Antiques Roadshow. Such wonderful people with their amazing stories to tell. The history of each item is fascinating.

[@augustacorns]

This episode seems like it’s from quite a few years ago. The value of all these jewelry pieces is probably tripled to quadrupled today.

[@mayurireddy8196]

Beautiful gold emerald precious stones jewellery

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

They're lovely. Still top notch imperial jade is more costly... I'm a gem collector, and jade is rather high on my bucket list. Not green though. But pink, lilac, and colourless "ice" jade.

[@yulianasine5398]

😘❤️🙏🌹Thank you very much for the important information program so lonely Well-done good job God bless to the program

[@martyal]

The young lady with the Brazilian yellow diamond seemed to be the most interested in her ring. She appeared to have given some thought about which questions to ask.

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

Sadly it belonged to her brother...

[@ramblinrose8]

Crikey! I have a piece of jade like the carved larger piece this lady has...it's lavender...$4,000. !!!! I'll take it! Gobsmacked!

I adore antique jewelry.

[@pennybenton5607]

The concertina ring is fabulous.

[@mchapman1928]

I bought a bracelet at a flea market for $3 many years ago. I wore it a few times, and received many compliments. Last year I took it to a jeweler to see if the clasp could be fixed. I found out it was 14k yellow gold. I sold it, and got $1460.00.

[@margaretsmallallan28]

I keep thinking of Queen Mary's ( wife to George Vth ) collection of jewellery, a lot of which she had squirreled from other people. It must be worth an incredible fortune!

[@debrawilder9551]

Wow never seen a ring turn into a bracelet like that

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

The Victorians were quite clever ! Some high jewellery necklaces transforms into tiaras. With some pendants turning into brooches and earrings as well.

[@JenWren4]

I love seeing the older pieces of jewelry but my one complaint is they are ALL so dirty you can't see the details of the settings and sometimes even the gems! I wish Brits would clean them before they go to show them off!

[@birdlover7776]

Agree lol

[@felomena2538]

Может быть они боятся их испортить , не каждый человек умеет это сделать правильно (((

[@reneemoriconi7003]

I would love to give some if this jewelry a good clean. I clean all of my jewelry 2 or 3 times a year..

[@E-Kat]

" The stone ( diamond) is much older than the setting." 😂 Just about 3 billion years older.

Never send valuable jewelry off to be appraised with cer And certify. Always take it in person because you don't know if diamonds or any part of the jewelry will be removed and replaced.

The ring that turns into a bracelet has to be worth way more than a thousand. I would pay more than that for that ring and i dont even collect jewelry!

[@rosemarienin9823]

I can’t believe the estimates. One can’t purchase the jewelry shown on this program here in the States for the prices mentioned. I’d like to travel to England just to get some of these bargains! Any suggestions?

Are there praying mantises in Europe? That one small French ring looked like a mantis to me, but it wasn't mentioned. The green wasn't leaves, it was the mantis' head in my view.

[@phoenixw2]

The Lalique ring appears to be in the form of a front view of the head of a preying mantis (insect). I used to keep one I caught in a jar.... trust me I won't forget those alien bug-eyes and swivelling head :)

I have a problem with that 'oven-made' emerald bracelet. It has scratches all across its surface. Emerald or corrundum is the 2nd hardest known substance, 9 on Moh's scale of hardness (1-10, diamond is 10 although subjectively it would be 40). Either that is not true emerald or what the hell has it been rubbing against?

[@osdanymartinez6486]

Emerald is beryl not corundum which is much softer

[@malachiXX]
