In the year 2000 when this was filmed the average price of gold was $279 per tr.oz. Now in 2023 it is a little over $2000 per tr.oz. Even accounting for inflation every item shown here would be worth about 4x-6x the 2000 value just for the metals.
yeah but still, do not invest in gold LOL.. it is not the 1800s anymore and when a currency hits the fan you can smelt mine for free.. I might make mine into a sword LOL
That is so exciting to have a piece of your families history!! I would be more excited to have had my mother, grandmother and great grandmother, share their knowledge of where each piece of jewelry came from and the history of it.
Thankfully you didn't have your inherent stolen from you by someone else who thought they eere entitled to it.
Goodness me she says....not thanks Grandma, you're the best!
easily 6 figures now
That today 2023 15k to 20k
Such a wonderful legacy left by your grandmother - particularly enriching to realize the immense value in these heirlooms. A stunning collection indeed.
sold that night LOL
Probably worth 20x more than that now, considering this was filmed in 2000.
Gold was something like £280/oz then, now it's around £1600/oz.
@@nowknow Gold doesn't inflate but very slowly, as more is discovered and mined. Fiat currencies are inflated by reckless money printing, though.
@bingbong7316 gold is the only true currency. Thats why every country hoards it. Gold becomes worth more because the fiat becomes worth less
Wait why Price of Gold have not increased that Much? Believe me think appraisal way to Low!
Way under priced!
What a stunning collection, I wish they had shown us more of the pieces in detail. Worth a lot more than that now.
I hope she didn't sell any. Those are truly things you pass down. AMAZING collection and hope she adds to it.
Agree but people are greedy thinking of themselves and the "now" instead of making it with labor and passing down that knowledge to the next generation
Price of Gold Melt it Down appraisal to Low?
Why does it matter if she sold any? They're hers.
@@mehere337 You're the problem.
she pawned them on her way home
I wonder how much the box itself is worth, I have one very similar. 2 secret compartments.
Probably more like a £100,000 in todays valuation
ARS in Great Britain: " Here we have the true and actual sword of St. George...hilt of solid gold, encrusted with cabochon jewels and pearls, still bearing his fingerprints, and the blade showing the notch caused by the dragon scales when it struck down the beast....1200 hundred quid."
Bwahahahaha!
Seriously some of the items are really undervalued ;)
I think she would be wise to keep that as a family herloom
Not in this economy... they're probably all gone by now sadly.
@@HondaFan470 Thrown into buying an over-inflated in price house, no doubt. In the meantime the value of gold has kept up with the price of houses and old jewelry gets melted down every day, so that can only rise in value over the generations, if kept in good condition.
I hope she didn't sell them
I have totes and totes of jewelry that needs to be sorted.... After my house was broken into and they stole my whole entire jewelry box then I had my daughter and I started hoarding jewelry and I would buy bags of jewelry and things like that I know there's some really expensive pieces in there I know I found a 18 karat gold multi-colored sapphire bracelet like a tennis bracelet a 14 karat gold diamond tennis bracelet a pair of diamond earrings that were valued at like $4,000 I gave to my mother on top of other unusual pieces and my husband said to put it all on the internet for $500 I said you're insane there's no way even if I took some of the silver plaques and bowls I could probably get 500 bucks easy for a couple pieces just in their weight... What's worse is I love all the stuff that's in there and don't want to get rid of it I guess it makes me kind of crazy if I had stuff like this I would wear it I think it's beautiful and it tells a story every piece of jewelry that I wear I remember where I got it and who gave it to me or how much it was and what I was doing that day it's a memory that's engraved in my mind and I think that jewelry carries energy especially pieces that never come off
Only £8,000?
Goodness gracious me.
Im going to start saying that more often
And I’m from New York.
it will go well in the hoods..
@@guravi4295 goodness gracious me my nigga
Hope she saved them all. Worth over 10x that now. Will only go up. Amazing collection
Hopefully it’ll be inherited by her daughter or something like that ;)
I hope she kept it and got into the periods the jewellery was originally from.
Hope she still has it and passes it on!
Agree ;)
Undervalued. Even for the year 2000.
I agree. I'll bet he gave her an offer afterwards. Here's hoping she didn't accept.
@@edelweiss2.076I agree WAY undervalued even for 23 years ago.
Totally missed the hidden compartment
More than that!!
I hope she keeps it, adds to it and has as long a life as her Grandmother and that she in turn passes it onto her grand children.
very nice 2 c old stuff.
y.ladies collection.
Why so Low price of Gold should make it worth More? Heck melt it Down!
and of course love when you decide to sell it off you will be required to pay 60% tribute to the Queen !
It’s beautiful to see these amazing treasures being passed down to future generations. So many of these are sold off for the monetary value. I hope she kept them and will be passing them on to the next generation
Cute kid. Good for her
What a beautiful collection ❤
those prices are absolute bullshit even for a pawn shop
Hope she decided not to get rid off them somebody else cannot appreciate it as much as what she does and to be in your family that alone tells you keep it. Money will be gone in a short time and then you don't have anything to show!!

My nan would have opened the door to scammers and had the lot stolen and been waiting on the doorstep to tell us the bad news when we all got back from work bless her😹
I’ll never get over hearing such a posh British antiques expert pronouncing “jewelry” (or “jewellery”) as “joolery”. Even in the States we know that’s incorrect.
I think he was estimating the value too low ,especially since the ring was engraved in 1849. I think if it were appraised in the states the value would be much greater . He must be doing that to make an offer ,I hope she gets another opinion .
You do know this was filmed nearly a quarter of a century ago?
Sounds like he was looking to steal this jewelry! Lol
I am Groot!
I do hope she didn’t go and sell them.
Beautiful collection. We love John Benjamin - he knows everything about jewelry.
I wouldn’t get rid of that for $8k to save my life
She looks suspicious is you ask me ☠
Как хорошо. Когда есть наследство )) еще лучше если у тебя есть возможность , передать это наследство своим внукам!
Under valued..Ya think
This was over 23 years ago. I mean they even tell you right there up top in the descriptions, but don't let that stop you
ITS NOT A MUFF CHAIN!
It's sad to think that most of this stuff, collected over generations and presented to the roadshow, would have been sold. If they'd just looked at the gold value alone, it was an investment worth hanging on to.
such a scam roadshow.. hes basically just qualifying the items based on the gold value at the time..ignoring the fact its nearly 200 years old and the scarcity..
that's kinda sad that her grandmother handed it down to her only for her to sell it for about 10,000 lbs, i mean it's not that much, i would have kept it in the family to pass it down.
I don't care that this was filmed 24 years. That was a dirty, lowball appraisal. This guy has pawnstars written all over his face
It's worth MUCH more than his estimate. Much more. Those are one of a kind pieces of jewelry of very high quality if they're in real gold. I'd be willing to pay her an arm & a leg for those jewels. 🎉
Whats sad is usually people who inheretthings of value and land often dont inhert the knowledge of how to make money with land and usually end up selling being short sighted
Imagine if all our inheritance grew from generation to generation wirh the knowledge of how to hold onto wealth
Suppressed he didn’t go over the coral or perhaps enamel pieces in the right hand side
I don't believe this guy knows what he's talking about....
how is the necklace worth 6-800 pounds, the weight in gold is worth more than that...
Tempting to either sell it all or keep it all. Who couldn't use the money, and who wouldn't want to continue owning it?
10k back then now probably 100 of millions
They will all be in Cash Converters now after her ex blew all the dough on crack
Nice collection and the box is equally great.
she dont agree with them prices forreally forreal...
price of gold is worth about 6.5X what it was when this was filmed, wow
There is much more value here on just Gold content alone ..
Pretty cool
What a feast for the eyes!
Shed frighten even the worst ghost. 👻👻👻👻
Amazing collection.
I wouldn't want mourning jewelry in my home.
As long as they were my ghosts, I wouldn't mind.
I hope she never sold it as it’s worth xxx more now
Wonder how many times that chest was stolen.
just remember folks, don't pass down anything to your children or relatives because they'll eventually pawn it or get it appraised to then pawn it or sell it.
Junk. Who weres that? For real now?
That chain with the little hand with the little ring! I would like to know all the little things on the top of it!
Now she can pay her electricity bill
I believe it’s worth much more.
Sounds so much better with an English Accent. They may be worth that much but might be lucky to get half of that.
Wooow amazing 😱😁
Honestly makes mea little sad seeing how excited she is with how much everything is worth, in my mind this is a "never sell" item
Beautiful and atomic proof - Utah goldbacks are where its at.
Grandma was hoping it’d make her more lady like.. 😂
It would not surprise me that this programme was designed to systematically strip the public of anything valuable for the 1% Committee ( The extreme rich who run the planet)
Grama did very well...
hope she kept them all..
she kinda look like gojo
Lemme guess, it's q British video?
Roadshow is a joke-a reality show.
Lol . Sapphire, pearls, gold .. simple
Awesome Keep it 😊
✔️
😮God bless your golden halos happy holidays welcome to the rainbows of heaven on earth and then God bless everything seen and unseen
I hope she keeps this as a family treasure.. Amazing legacy..
I want to know if those were collected or family pieces purchased to commemorate passing of a loved one. The genealogist in me needs to know.
Ah com on, that is pretty nasty.
Filmed in 2000, could buy a house with 8k
Opium and slavery were quite lucrative back in the day. Ahh thanks Grandma
She seems like the type who would immediately pawn it all.
@ai3985rghh. Oh gosh I hope not!! What a treasure from her grandmother. I'd never sell that. It's absolutely so so special ❤️
No doubt. She’ll be enthused. Doesn’t look like she has 2 bob to rub together
Dont judge a book by its cover😂
