She got this from a man in Colorado.
She had a, uh... a peach orchard, I believe it was, and this gentleman bought it and he paid her cash for some of it and then, gave her this pendant for the other part.
APPRAISER: How big was the peach orchard?
GUEST: See, I don't know, I really don't know... APPRAISER: (laughs) GUEST: ...how big it was back... And this happened, probably, late '30s.
One story I heard that this gentleman might have made it.
I don't know.
APPRAISER: What we have here is an Art Deco platinum sapphire and diamond pendant from about 1920.
You can still see some Edwardian elements with the frilly laciness of the piece.
But you start getting into the Art Deco elements.
You see when you get down toward the base, it becomes a little bit more geometric...
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: So we're right on the cusp of the end of the Edwardian period to the beginning of the Art Deco period.
We have platinum, sapphire, and diamond.
You suspected that the gentleman that gave it to her may have made it?
GUEST: That was one story I heard.
Now you know, whether it's true, you know, who knows?
APPRAISER: Not knowing anything about the man who bought the peach orchard, I'm going to suspect that he did not make this himself.
GUEST: I didn't...
I, I, I...
...I wouldn't think so.
APPRAISER: Yeah.
I think, I think the workmanship on that beautiful pierce work, those milgrain accents, I, I don't think anyone but a very high-quality jeweler... APPRAISER:...a very experienced jeweler would have made this.
Unfortunately, it's not signed, so we don't know who made this.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: But I would imagine it's probably from New York.
I think the high-quality jewelers that worked in New York in this period...
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER:...would have produced something like this.
In a retail store, you would probably expect to pay between $15,000 and $20,000 for it.
GUEST: Really?
APPRAISER: Yeah.
GUEST: Holy smokes.
My wife will go crazy and now she'll never wear it.
(laughs) APPRAISER: Well, don't do that.
(both laugh) APPRAISER: She should enjoy it, but...
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: Yeah, no, it's beautifully made.
It's a really nice thing.
GUEST: Yeah.
