September 19 according to foreign media reports, an American woman spent $8 on a small brooch when she participated in a garage auction a few months ago. Until recently, it was discovered that the gems on the brooch were 1.39 carats of miners' cut diamonds, emeralds and Burmese rubies, which were conservatively estimated to fetch at least $30,000.

The lucky one said that when she found a brooch with unique shape and elegant appearance, she wanted to buy it as a gift for her daughter and wear it when she went to church. "After I threw the brooch into my bag, I completely forgot about it. The brooch has been in the bag for several months. "

It was not until recently that the woman met a jeweler that she remembered the existence of brooches. She quickly found the brooch and shared the story with the jeweler. The jeweler picked it up and found that the brooch seemed simple. She suggested that she have someone test it.

So the woman went to the Gemological Institute of the United States to identify the brooch, and found that many ancient European cut diamonds were used on the brooch, as well as an ancient miner's cut diamond weighing 1.39 carat, a Colombian rectangular emerald weighing 1.50 carat and a Burmese ruby weighing 0.60 carat.

Baolong Auction Company said that this brooch can fetch at least 30,000 US dollars, and it has been scheduled for auction on 19 local time in new york. Susan, the chief auctioneer of Baolong Auction House, said with a smile, "This is a great story, telling us that treasures are everywhere ... I believe no one will see it in the garage auction again.
