Last night we went to the wedding for a friend''s son. The friend is a local jeweler. We ended up sitting with him and his wife, and a local developer and his wife, at the reception. The developer''s wife was across the table from me, and I noticed right away the HUGE ring she had on. Hubby, knowing my penchant for jewelry commented on it and told her we''d love to see it up close. She came over and showed me. Oh my gosh! I have never seen such a gigantic stone on a real person (not in a museum or something). It was set in a split shank pave band, with a thin pave band on each side of it. I was in awe, and regretting I didn''t have a camera with me! I asked her how big the center stone was, and she said she didn''t even know, but our friend, the jeweler had made it for her. I shot him a quick look and asked him- 12 carats!
She said it was only the third time she had worn the ring because it was so ostentatious. Yeah, it was! But heck, that thing was incredible! Of course, I think I''d be afraid to wear something worth that much without an armed guard.
Anyone know the range that thing would be worth??? I was guessing $250K+?
