Antiques Roadshow...

Does anyone watch this show? I do and I love it!

Once in a while they have some nice jewelry...

Tonight they showed a 1930''s platinum ring, featuring a 3.2 carat fancy yellow Asscher cut diamond!

They valued it at $75K-100K! And the woman who owns it said she never wears it!

Yikes! It was gorgeous, BTW,

My mom LOVES ARS. I used to watch it a lot but I don''t watch it that much anymore.

LOVE the show. Watch it, but not every week. I even got to go to one once in St. Louis. It was really fun, though the two items I was allowed weren't worth much.

I love it!

My mom was on the show years ago. If you''ve ever seen the New Orleans episode, she''s the woman in the wheelchair with a cast.

EEEK! Thanks for finding that pic! I wish there were more pics of it, the gallery and filigree were gorgeous too!


ARS was in MI not too long ago, but about a 3 hour drive from me...AND I didn''t have anything obvious laying around to have appraised! Bummer...I love the stories where people found something in the trash or at a yard sale and it ends up being worth a fortune! I wish I was that lucky, LOL!!

Here''s one of my favorite episodes - right before this, there was a pair of Picasso vases. I was soooo glued to the screen, and my husband came to check on me because I kept gasping, haha.
