Antiques Roadshow guest open-mouthed as she learns secret message hidden on necklace – and its HUGE value

thesun.co.uk:

AN ANTIQUES Roadshow guest was left open-mouthed after she learned the secret message hidden on a necklace - and its huge value.

In a classic episode of the BBC show, expert Geoffrey Munn met a lady who had brought in a Faberge necklace in pristine condition.

As regular viewers know, Faberge is one of the most famous jewellery brands there is, and items that end up on the show often end up with eye-watering valuations.

The necklace came in a "beautiful" box inscribed with 'K. Fabergé, Moscow' on the inside, displaying the three blue eggs. The guest revealed the item belonged to a friend who had received them from her aunt and added: "She believes they are Russian but that's all she knows about them."  After acknowledging her friend's assumption, Geoffrey said: "But I just want to discuss this item in a sort of back to front way and tell you about the eggs which are sky blue with tiny diamond laurels.  "That's quite important in a way, because in the tradition of jewellery the colour blue is for love and it's something borrowed and something blue and what we have is conspicuously written.  "Above it, we also see tiny laurels with diamonds and this is a visual rebirth of a Latin phrase which means, 'The triumph of love over all.' @font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff').
