almost sold on ebay

My Uncle Al's ring. Gold nugget. 2 diamonds. Mean't absolutely nothing to me. I took pictures of this ring back in January of 2008 with the intention of selling it on ebay. What did I know? Nada.

Thank goodness I procrastinated. Thank goodness I decided to hold on to it until I really knew what I wanted to do with it. Thank goodness... yeah, yeah, yeah. No more comments needed.




The larger diamond in the gold nugget ring created this. A 2 karat solitaire!

I think I need lotion.




Another view. I still need lotion.





Okay, this photo really shows how dumb I am. I almost sold this little beauty.

The "smaller" diamond in my uncle's ring created this pendant. Also almost sold on ebay. Now I'm in the market for a better chain. I'm thinking that one little tug on this lightweight chain might send this necklace down the toilet, too.

Just another glimpse of what I wore on my finger all day today. And what I'll be putting away shortly. I just don't know if I can justify $14,000 on my grubby little finger!

What my uncle's ring looks like now. And yes, it's listed on ebay. Sans diamonds.

UPDATE:

Just pulled the gold diamondless ring off of ebay. Rick found a little store that buys gold in our town and took it in to have it appraised. The store owner offered him $410. We took it. Sorry ebay. The one bidder I had nearly got this for $51.00. Because I am stupid.
