1
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:05,000
GUEST: Well, I brought a pin 
in that is stamped "Tiffany," 
and it is full of diamonds,

2
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:12,033
and I believe it's 
platinum. I, um, purchased 
it about 30 years ago,

3
00:00:12,033 --> 00:00:17,033
and I tucked it away and brought 
it out yesterday. (chuckles)

4
00:00:18,266 --> 00:00:19,400
APPRAISER: So it really 
hasn't seen daylight?

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,400
GUEST: Not, n, not, 
no, not really.

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,300
APPRAISER: Did you acquire 
this from a private 
individual or from a store?

7
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:31,300
GUEST: Yes, from a private 
individual. And they had heard 
that I like old pieces...

8
00:00:31,933 --> 00:00:33,466
APPRAISER: Okay.

9
00:00:33,466 --> 00:00:36,333
GUEST: ...that were really 
nice, and she brought it to me,

10
00:00:36,333 --> 00:00:39,633
and we agreed on a price, 
and I, and I purchased it.

11
00:00:39,633 --> 00:00:42,900
APPRAISER: Okay, 
fantastic. And you paid 
how much for this piece?

12
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:45,333
GUEST: I paid, I 
think, right at $3,000.

13
00:00:45,333 --> 00:00:46,700
APPRAISER: Okay.

14
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:48,500
GUEST: Mm-hmm.

15
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:49,233
APPRAISER: Well, I 
think that that was an 
excellent investment.

16
00:00:49,233 --> 00:00:50,666
GUEST: Mm-hmm.

17
00:00:50,666 --> 00:00:52,000
APPRAISER: The item is made 
by Tiffany and Company.

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,100
GUEST: Mm-hmm.

19
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:56,966
APPRAISER: We have a, a 
clear mark on that. This is a 
quintessential Art Deco jewel.

20
00:00:58,033 --> 00:00:59,833
GUEST: Mm-hmm.

21
00:00:59,833 --> 00:01:01,633
APPRAISER: I absolutely 
am in love with this 
because of the lines.

22
00:01:01,633 --> 00:01:04,033
GUEST: Mm-hmm.

23
00:01:04,033 --> 00:01:06,200
APPRAISER: You might expect 
me to say the diamonds 
first, but truthfully, 
it's got these beautiful

24
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,900
Art Moderne lines that are just 
captivating. You have diamonds 
in a variety of shapes. There's

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,400
the European-cut diamond 
in the center. You have 
French-cut diamonds, 
baguette-cut diamonds. There

26
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:24,266
are round-cuts. They're all set 
in a beautiful platinum frame. 
This is magnificent Art Deco

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,900
craftsmanship in a very 
Art Moderne style, with 
brilliant lines. This is 
sculpture in miniature.

28
00:01:33,033 --> 00:01:35,066
GUEST: Good.

29
00:01:35,066 --> 00:01:37,533
APPRAISER: And it just 
makes everybody catch their 
breath. This is a treasure.

30
00:01:37,533 --> 00:01:38,433
GUEST: Mm-hmm. 
APPRAISER: It should be worn.

31
00:01:38,433 --> 00:01:40,000
GUEST: I knew I liked it.

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,700
APPRAISER: If you were to go to 
a high-end retail store today,

33
00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:46,300
you could look at 
$25,000 to $30,000...

34
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:47,133
GUEST: Okay. 
APPRAISER: ...for this piece.

35
00:01:47,133 --> 00:01:48,966
GUEST: Okay.

36
00:01:48,966 --> 00:01:51,233
APPRAISER: So your thir, 
your $3,000 investment 
was money well spent.

37
00:01:51,233 --> 00:01:52,666
GUEST: Well, that's not too bad.

38
00:01:52,666 --> 00:01:54,200
APPRAISER: Yeah, no, I think 
so, too-- it's awesome.

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,566
GUEST: (laughs) I am, I am 
happy that I purchased it, and,

40
00:01:56,566 --> 00:02:01,300
and I appreciate the 
craftsmanship in it. So 
I guess I'll have to wear 
it from now on, yeah.

41
00:02:02,066 --> 00:02:06,466
APPRAISER: You should.
