GUEST: I got the set from my mother on my wedding day.

It's a traditional Pakistani wedding set.

So girls, when they get married, get a full set of jewelry.

And I got this from my mother, who was Pakistani.

Her and my father immigrated here.

And so we were born-- my brothers and sister and I-- were born here.

But when I got married 30 years ago, I got this set.

They have two sides of jewels, so the first side is emerald.

The other side is multiple stones.

In Pakistan, the ceremonies are two to three days.

And so on the first day, you would wear one side, and then you'd be able to just flip it, and wear it with your different sari dress on the second day.

Um, and so that's traditional.

APPRAISER: The emeralds appear to come from Swat Valley in Pakistan.

It's likely from the '40s to '50s.

We would consider this a Mughal style.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: And that's just a traditional Indian jewelry design.

Al-although this is, uh, Pakistani, it's derived from the same area art style.

GUEST: Pretty close, yeah, same area.

Well, and in the '40s is when the country split.

So really, at that time, it was all intermixed.

APPRAISER: Let's take a look at the... ...reverse side of the pieces.

It's a silver material with a gold-plating overlay.

Here you can see all the colorful gemstones: rubies, turquoise, pearls, coral.

Let's take a look at the ring.

The way it spins over and the hinge design just allows it to spin freely.

So with the earrings here, you can really see the difference in gemstones and just the feel of the earrings and the entire set.

One's more playful, the other one's more traditional.

And actually, on this one, you can see where the pearl is missing.

So you can see the silver foil that was underneath the pearl.

We see a lot of traditional bridal sets like this, selling retail for anywhere from $200 to $300 to $400.

However, your set, because of the natural emeralds that really connect the culture with the history and the design... GUEST: Uh-huh.

APPRAISER: ...your particular set, we would place a estimate of, retail value, anywhere from $3,000 to $4,000.

GUEST: Oh, my goodness!

I can't believe that, wow!

Well, that's exciting, and it's news to us.

Obviously, it has a lot of special meaning to my family.

So it isn't something I would auction or anything.

And I plan on passing it forward to my kiddos.
