I do enjoy watching "Antiques Road Show" and, like many other people, I dream of discovering that I own something of amazing wealth. You know, a rare 15th century painting or a fabulous piece of jewelry. This evening as I half watched the show while doing other stuff, my attention was caught by the phrase 'Art Deco' jewelry. I happen to own a ring that I was told is Art Deco so of course I was interested. As it turned out the three piece set - necklace, bracelet and ring, was valued at $48,000 to $60,000. While the artistic details of the jewelry were quite lovely, a great deal of the value was due to the fact that the three pieces containd between them about eight carats of diamonds. Alas, my nifty silver ring has no diamonds and is probably worth the $50 I paid for it. Of course I will keep watching the show, just in case. I wonder how much an antique, avacado green blender is worth?
