1
00:00:01,966 --> 00:00:05,533
APPRAISER: So imagine, you are 
invited to a party here. You're 
coming off the back porch,

2
00:00:05,533 --> 00:00:06,866
you're walking down 
to see the water.

3
00:00:06,866 --> 00:00:08,966
GUEST: In a gown.

4
00:00:08,966 --> 00:00:11,833
APPRAISER: In a gown. And 
you're wearing this. Tell 
us what you brought in.

5
00:00:11,833 --> 00:00:16,500
GUEST: The pin belonged to 
my grandmother, who lived in 
Chicago. I don't know where she

6
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:19,933
bought it. I don't 
know what it's worth.

7
00:00:19,933 --> 00:00:21,566
APPRAISER: And never had 
it appraised, did you?

8
00:00:21,566 --> 00:00:23,633
GUEST: Never had it appraised.

9
00:00:23,633 --> 00:00:26,900
APPRAISER: We love people like 
you when you come in here with 
that. Lack of information.

10
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:29,500
GUEST: Lack of 
information, solid lack.

11
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:33,033
APPRAISER: Right. (laughs) 
You see, I'm just standing 
here, and it's moving.

12
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:34,066
GUEST: In the wind.

13
00:00:34,066 --> 00:00:35,066
APPRAISER: Is that fantastic?

14
00:00:35,066 --> 00:00:36,600
GUEST: It is lovely.

15
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,666
APPRAISER: Imagine if you were 
dancing in this house, you know.

16
00:00:38,666 --> 00:00:42,200
APPRAISER: in 1940, 
because that's about when 
I think this pin was made.

17
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,300
GUEST: Okay.

18
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:48,166
APPRAISER: I think the pin was 
added. I think it was always 
made to have some type of a

19
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,866
chain running through it, and 
it hung as a necklace. Not 
that it doesn't work as a pin.

20
00:00:52,866 --> 00:00:54,833
GUEST: Okay.

21
00:00:54,833 --> 00:00:58,733
APPRAISER: It reminds me 
of a waterfall. I mean, the 
diamonds are truly dripping off

22
00:00:58,733 --> 00:01:03,700
of this. There's a little 
over two ounces of platinum in 
the whole piece. Then there's

23
00:01:05,933 --> 00:01:08,833
about four carats in 
baguettes. The marquise-shaped 
stones, they're all 
different sizes. One of

24
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,666
them is as large as a carat. 
You add them all up, there's 
nine carats in the marquise

25
00:01:14,666 --> 00:01:19,666
diamonds. So all together, 
we got 13 carats of goods. 
Any thoughts on the piece?

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,433
GUEST: Beautiful.

27
00:01:22,433 --> 00:01:24,366
APPRAISER: Beautiful, I like 
that. So you really don't 
need to know what it's worth.

28
00:01:24,366 --> 00:01:26,333
GUEST: I would like to know.

29
00:01:26,333 --> 00:01:30,133
APPRAISER: (laughs) Thought 
I'd get out of here. So I would 
say at auction, $15,000 to

30
00:01:30,133 --> 00:01:31,133
$20,000

31
00:01:31,133 --> 00:01:32,133
GUEST: Great.

32
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:33,400
APPRAISER: It's not bad, right?

33
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,400
GUEST: Not bad.

34
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,633
APPRAISER: Yeah.

35
00:01:35,633 --> 00:01:37,233
GUEST: For a bunch 
of rocks. (laughing)

36
00:01:37,233 --> 00:01:37,900
APPRAISER: (laughs) 
That's great, I love 
it. Good backdrop, huh?

37
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:38,100
GUEST: Yeah.
