Went on a trip overseas and found what could be my best find ever..... 1.45ct diamond solitare with 14 full cut diamonds down the side. 14kt. $16,097.76 replacement cost that is not figuring in the designer name brand that cost the buyer an additional 30% which tags this as an over $20,000 ring.
WOW what a find..... I guess the 10,000 pulltabs and 8000 bottlecaps do pay off to dig.
Funny thing is I went to a beach that morning and flooded out my favorite red head excal then went back to the room, tore it down and washd it off with alchohol then dried it out, pt together my back up and hunted another beach where I found this beauty.

Excals only hype?? It found a $20,000 ring didn't it???

Yes I did flood out an excal but a very old well used one. Then of course I found the ring with my back-up excal. If it would not have flooded the other guy may have found it. Lucky to be unlucky I guess. That excal has found over 500 gold rings so it definately served me well. Been using excals since 1990 and only had a few issues. They are not just hype.... Great machines...

Ok so 1/3rd is still over $5000 not a bad deal there either. My jeweler is reputable and his apraisel is apx. Double what was paid for it just as usual on jewelry replacement apraisels.
