Babaeng Bumili ng Singsing sa Halagang 500 Pesos, At Nang Ipatingin Niya sa Eksperto ay Laking Gulat Niya Totoong Presyo Nito!

A woman went to the flea market with the hopes of getting a bargain and she actually got more than what she paid for. This happened when she saw a beautiful ring that caught her eye. It had a huge gem and she immediately fell in love with it. She didn't know that this ring would change her life forever.

You see, the woman was able to buy the ring for only $13. As a middle-income earner, she never quite regretted having this piece of jewelry for herself. She wore it everyday because it made her feel like a princess. And after all, it didn't cost too much so she won't really feel so bad if it were lost or stolen.

But even after 30 years, the woman was able to keep the ring. She brought it with her whenever she went shopping, or going out with friends. It's a staple accessory in her arsenal. She just couldn't keep it away from her!

One day, the woman went into the grocery store for her regular shopping. She was going to the counter to pay for her purchases when she noticed a strange man who kept looking at her. Even after she finished buying her needs, the man kept following her. Creeped out, the woman faced the odd man and talked to him. It turns out, the man was a jeweler and got fascinated with her ring. He proceeded to tell the woman that the piece of jewelry she's wearing might be really precious.

At first, the woman couldn't believe what she heard. This old piece of metal, tarnished and unkempt, with a fake gem could really be worth more than what she paid for? She had to find out the truth.

She searched for a place where she could get an honest and professional opinion about her beloved ring. She went to Sotheby's Auction House in London and had her ring checked. And the auction house did not disappoint!

The auction house reported that she was in possession of a 19th century 26-karat, cushion-shaped, white diamond ring! The auction house determined that the stone had a clarity grade of VVS2, and a color grade of I. With this much value, the ring was priced at least $450,000! Sotheby's said that who ever first appraised the ring probably thought that it was a cheap gem because of its cut. The cushion-shaped cut was a rare and old kind of cut which prioritizes the weight instead of the brilliance. Coupled with the fact that it looked so dull and dirty, it's no wonder the previous owner of the ring thought it was just a piece of scrap! But Sotheby's believed that the ring was originally owned by the royal family until it was passed down to the next generations.

The woman agreed to part with her now extraordinarily precious ring. She was able to sell her ring at a price of $850,000 in an auction. The ring turned out to be a real bargain indeed, one story that she may share for the next generations to come.
