Diamond Worth £2 Million Almost Thrown in Bin
Shocked Woman Discovers Diamond She Almost Threw in Bin is Worth £2 Million
The pensioner in her 70s bought the diamond at a car boot sale and thought it was worthless until a neighbour convinced her to get it valued when she went to bin it Daily Mirror 31 OCT 2021. A diamond bought by a woman in her 70s at a car boot sale is actually worth £2 million An amazed pensioner has found that a piece of jewellery she was about to bin during a clearout is in fact a diamond worth £2 million. The stone was bought at a car boot sale many years ago by the woman in her 70s who had dismissed it as being worthless. But she was convinced to get it valued by a neighbour where she was given the incredible news that the diamond was an “off the scale” in terms of its wealth. Mark Lane, of Featonby’s Auctioneers in North Shields, told the BBC that the woman came off the street into his shop saying “she just thought she would bring it in as she was passing”. He continued: "It had been in a box along with her wedding band and a number of low-value costume jewellery items. The stone was bought at a car boot sale many years ago "We saw quite a large stone, bigger than a pound coin, and I thought it was a CZ [cubic zirconia, a synthetic diamond lookalike]. "It sat on my desk for two or three days until I used a diamond tester machine. We then sent it off to our partners in London before it was certified by experts in Antwerp, Belgium, who confirmed it is 34 carat." The diamond is larger than a £1 coin and Mr Lane said it is the biggest that he has seen in five years running the business. The woman was about to throw the diamond away in a clear out thinking it was worthless He said that the woman wanted to remain anonymous but she told him she enjoyed going to car boot sales and never for a minute thought it was a real diamond. He added: "She told us she'd been having a clear out and that it nearly went in the bin before her neighbour suggested bringing her items to us to get valued. "The colour, the clarity, the size... to find a 34-carat diamond is off the scale." The diamond is now being held at a secure location in Hatton Gardens, London, before it goes under auction on November 30.
