It was originally set as cufflinks.
It was given to my mother's friend's father.
They lived in China during the 1920s.
When she moved back to the United States, my mother's friend, she had them reset and then they came to my mother after her friend died.
APPRAISER: Puyi was the last emperor.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: He had several wives and concubines.
They're not jade.
GUEST: Oh!
APPRAISER: They're actually jadeite.
Diamonds, jadeite and gold.
There's no real way to prove that they belonged to Puyi's wife.
If they're not, I think they would likely sell for $3,000 to $5,000 as they are.
If they were, it's really hard to know.
Somewhere between $8,000 and $12,000.
GUEST: Oh, my goodness.
Well, they're beautiful, aren't they?
They're memorials of my mother's friend and my mother and the Empress of China.
If that's the case.
