BBC Antiques Roadshow expert leaves guest fighting back tears at late pal ring's value


An Antiques Roadshow guest couldn't believe it when he was told the value of a ring left to him by a late friend, with the man admitting it was 'amazing'

The episode, filmed at The Royal Hall in Harrogate, featured expert Geoffrey Munn examining a stunning ring and keen to learn its history. Munn confirmed the guest's belief that it was a sapphire ring featuring a carved design of Julius Caesar, indicating its Italian origin. He added: "We should just mention that sapphires are the second hardest material known to man so to carve it in what we call intaglio, which means to cut in, it's a tour de force."
