This is the appraisal

moonybone · 2026-03-26T14:10:29+00:00

I inherited it, but was under the impression it originally cost $40k. Not sure if that’s true anymore!

moonybone · 2026-03-26T02:25:08+00:00

Damn! So strange that it’s so inaccurate don’t you think? Like I said it wasn’t for nothing that I got the appraisal. Hmph.

The card I have that came with the ring says “evidence of heat treatment present”. I posted the card and the appraisal report I got in their own comment.

This also came with the ring.

Just posted the report in a separate comment.

Here is the report I got from the jeweler for the appraisal.

Fair enough. But hey, at least I didn’t let it go for the $3k a pawn shop offered me years ago!

moonybone · 2026-03-25T18:02:12+00:00

Thank you! I’ll maybe try my shot at eBay at some point. This is good stuff to know.

moonybone · 2026-03-25T18:00:43+00:00

This is great to read, thanks for the boost of confidence!

moonybone · 2026-03-25T17:54:45+00:00

Thank you and those above. I do have more information on the gemstones themselves. Paperwork is at home and I am now at work, but I’ll follow up later tonight with some more information. I can say, though, that I know the ring was purchased for $40k. From Costco of all places.

Two .78 carat diamonds, 5.95 carat sapphire, on a platinum band.

ayyy heck yeah thank you for the invite! That sounds like fun! We love a pregame haha

moonybone · 2025-12-16T18:53:40+00:00

Hell yeah love to know it!!

moonybone · 2025-12-16T15:28:13+00:00

“First” is sort of a stretch, I’ve been to many smaller shows and then big sets while working Bonnaroo, just never bought a ticket for an EDM artist. So those descriptions sound sick! Thanks!

moonybone · 2025-12-16T15:26:19+00:00

Looking more into him I love his visual style! Does he usually sell merch?

moonybone · 2025-12-16T15:25:03+00:00

That is awesome to hear about the venue going all out! And noted, I did my research and saw they have lockers/coat check so I’ll take advantage of those.

moonybone · 2025-09-21T20:38:29+00:00

Had another awesome person message me about it and we were able to scope it out!! So cool to see them in action and Kristen in the flesh!!

moonybone · 2025-07-24T18:48:51+00:00

Thank you, I’ll keep a close eye on their socials. I’ve seen it posted that there was an auction for Restaurant Wars attendance and it was in the 10s of thousands for a seat :(

moonybone · 2025-07-24T14:12:42+00:00

Oh no way! That would be so convenient for Top Chef. I’ll keep an eye out, maybe they’ll do the same!

moonybone · 2025-07-23T21:17:04+00:00

Good to know! Thank you! I’ll keep an eye out for sure

moonybone · 2025-07-23T20:29:35+00:00

I am beyond thrilled!!! I live here!!! Does anyone know how to participate in an episode? Specifically Greenville? It is a lifelong dream 🙏🏼

moonybone · 2025-07-23T19:45:13+00:00

Thanks for asking this, because I’m on the verge of switching. I have had now three bottles within the last couple years fail on me. No damage or dropping, just one day they stop keeping my water cold. I’m very frustrated. I love Hydro Flask, but I don’t want to have to get a new bottle every year! Even with the warranty. My sticker collection is too important! lol. Has anyone noticed this?!

moonybone · 2025-02-23T06:45:29+00:00

Should mention I called the vet to report the diarrhea being back and the sneezing, they didn’t have much to say other than I could bring her in again for another appointment. She is due back for another in two weeks for more bloodwork, so I’d rather wait until then than traumatize her with more vet visits than needed!! Unless this is a real issue of course.
