GUEST: I inherited a box of jewelry, a lot of costume jewelry, and this was in it.

APPRAISER: Did you have any idea if this was a costume piece or a real piece?

GUEST: I was hoping it was real, but I didn't know.

APPRAISER: Well, I can tell you that it is real. It is marked platinum. This is a wonderful piece from the 1950s. And we have tested it, and it's a real diamond.

GUEST: Oh, good.

APPRAISER: So we can take it a step further and say that the center diamond is a fancy colored diamond, which means it has yellow and brown in it, which makes it more unique than the standard white diamond.

GUEST: Oh, good.

APPRAISER: Yeah, and by measurement, it comes up to seven carats.

GUEST: Wow.

APPRAISER: So it's a big diamond. And at auction, an item like this would sell for between $40,000 and $60,000.

GUEST: Oh, that's wonderful.

APPRAISER: Is that what you expected to hear?

GUEST: No.
