i have a small collection of useless things, useless at least to me. i stop and forget everything whenever i see anything shiny on the ground. even when i am out and determined to conquer the whole universe, i see shiny and it's enough for me to put off the conquering. the other thingamajiggers are somewhere in this godforsaken apartment. here, there's a white gold wedding ring with 'Barbie and something and date' engraved inside; one earring, another earring, and a Pandora pseudo-sapphire ring, and a gold button. the wedding ring is the only one that is real white gold, the others are gold-plated.
in the past i had also found a 1.5 carat diamond which i would guess fell off a woman's engagement ring. i had it examined at the shop of Yazmin, my jeweller friend, and it was indeed real diamond (which is sitting in my safety deposit box in the bank with my other jewelry). at one time there was also a bigger diamond stone which was unfortunately not real but a cubic zirconia.
jiggumbob is an archaic word for something that is indefinable or useless.
How funny your story is! I find it funny because my son does the same: earth stops turning because he has to pick up some shiny thing. He's never found a diamond - yet.
Maybe it's worth mentioning that for 4 years of highschool he never bought a pen. He always wrote with pens he had picked up. :)
@monikozi - years ago at the first lawfirm i worked for, there was a very ostentatious Italian girl boasting about her 3.5 carat engagement ring. one day she was telling the other young girls that the stone must've been loose because she lost the stone and had her insurance replace it. the other girls were saying she probably was just scamming the insurance company. years and years later, when i found that little diamond stone and had my jeweler friend examined it, i could believe her. my friend said the setting must not have been well done for the stone to come off.
Interesting collection of finds. @30pics4jackiesdiamond I have lost stones out of settings. The prongs that hold them in can easily bend or break if not carefully maintained.
