Antiques Roadshow viewers were left chuckling after a guest lovingly defended a piece of jewellery that her husband branded 'a load of tat' - before discovering its true value
A guest on Antiques Roadshow was left utterly speechless when an item her husband had written off as 'just a piece of tat' turned out to be incredibly valuable. The couple appeared on the BBC show with a few pieces of jewellery for valuation.
"Amongst a heap of things in this big box, we reached the bottom and there it was. My husband scoffed, 'you don't want that - it's a load of tat'. It's just a piece of glass. But I insisted, 'well I like it.'" Her husband added, "We'd like to know what it is! It's very big for a precious stone, I would have thought."
She examined the jewels, saying: "The greens, the blues, flashes of oranges we see around the stones. It really is totally magnificent and the added bonus with any piece of jewellery is having the original box which we have here. If we open the box up, we can see the piece was bought at Wartski's in Llandudno. It's now based in London but this is where they were established," reports the Mirror.
