The Jeweler called today. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[Chicago Ron]

I got on the internet to look up Michael B. It is inscribed inside the ring and I believed it to be the maker. I was correct!
I e-mailed a retail jeweler that sells his rings and asked for a quote on the ring , saying I had seen one and was interested in a possable purchase. I also called a major retailer in Chicago to ask the same question.

First call was from the New York jeweler. Said the ring has 1.2 ct of diamonds, 5 mm wide, pt 900. Retail is 8,000.00 but they could special order one for 6,600.00

Then the Chicago jeweler called said retail is 10,600.00 and they could order one for 8,600.00 plus tax so about 9,400.00. LOL

I thanked each of them very much and said it was a little above my price range. Yea more like WAY ABOVE!!!!

Thanks for all the complements. That is a once in a life time find.

P.S. Any one want a Micheal B for 50% off!!! LOL

Great Find !!! An interesting fact about platinum:

It takes 10,000 pounds of ore, and two months to make just four (4) normal platinum rings.
Platinum is 15 times rarer than gold is. That is the info my local jeweler gave me in a fact sheet about platinum. Also, when platinum is scratched, the metal is only "moved to the side", instead of some actually lost as in other precious metals.


Again, you are on top of the world ;-) Now have a nice glass of Tea, and think of what ya
gonna do with it? LOL...
