Antiques Roadshow

GUEST

The ring on the bottom is the one that I got from my mother-in-law. The one on the top is the one that I received from my mother.

APPRAISER

Where did your mother-in-law live?

GUEST

My mother-in-law lived in Munich, Germany.

APPRAISER

And your mother is from where?

GUEST

Connecticut.

APPRAISER

Okay, well, there's the story. They're both made in the '30s. They're made of ruby and platinum. The interesting thing about the rings, of course, is, in the '30s, the styles of the architecture was seen in the style of the ring. So you've got this kind of graduated design in the rings. How about $4,000 to $5,000 apiece?

GUEST

Wow!

APPRAISER

Probably, if we factored in that they're a pair, they might even be worth more as a pair.

GUEST

Actually, I have two sons, and I think,

APPRAISER

It's great.

GUEST

I'm just tickled that I have two, because I can give each one of them one.

APPRAISER

It's terrific.
