GUEST: Well, I know that they came from my family in Paris, France.
APPRAISER: The most interesting piece is this brooch. This is from the 1920s. This is all diamond and, of course, platinum. The earrings are old mine-cut diamonds, and I measured them, and they're about a carat. If you look at this necklace, this is classic French Art Nouveau, done around 1900, 1910. Now, the fourth thing. What do you think those are?
GUEST: Pearls, that's all I know.
APPRAISER: You think pearls? Pearls.
GUEST: It's pearls or pearls.
APPRAISER: Well, they're a little small. I wish they'd stayed in the oyster a little longer.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: What do you think is the most valuable thing?
GUEST: I would think the brooch.
APPRAISER: You're right. And I would estimate it in the auction market probably around $4,000.
GUEST: Uh-huh.
APPRAISER: The earrings, I would say probably $2,500. The Art Nouveau necklace around $1,500, and the pearls, if they are natural, about $2,000.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: If not, maybe $300.
GUEST: Sounds great to me.
