Our own Wayne Freedman tracked her down, not knowing she was wifezoid of the Armenian.

Nothing about architecture, but something fun to share with the Treehouse.

Gib --

Terrific. Thanks.

Thar's gold in them thar Hills(borough)!

And as I'm guessing you know: There's a little book -- part memoir, part mystery -- in the known and unknown story of that ring.

Dan

P.S. On second thought ... maybe that ring is a Trilogy waiting to happen. Or even a Cycle!

John,

I was wondering the same.  It would have been awesome for Gib to be shrieking how Fazio has ruined Rivieria in the background or something!!   ;D

Gib,

I'm sure your wife is a happy customer, and as we all know, when the wife is happy, we're happy!!!

Dan,

Perhaps the story has someone obsessing over it:  "My Precious! Oh, my Precious!"

Gib,

All's well that ends well.

Great story, but, an even greater mystery, Oregon to the Midwest and back to California.

That's some journey.

No doubt that TEPaul will claim that Crump had that all plotted out before he died since he knew Darva's mother and grandmother.

Gee, how could a classically beautiful woman with an eye for design tastes like that (blue necklace worn in the interview) end up with a guy with a golf swing like Gib's?   ;) ::) ;D 8)

Gib, Thanx for sharing. The red head looks marvelous. It was a shame I didn't get to see her on my recent visit.

BTW, Remember the sleeve of balls I gave you? The group is coming to the O club in November. Would you like to be officially invited?

 I consider it destiny.

Thief breaks into a house in Oregon, cleans out the jewels, fences them for what he can get, the ring in question is sold to a pawn shop, a struggling young couple walks in and buys the ring, they marry, they move to the Midwest because of a job transfer, the wife dies, the guy decides to sell the ring on e-Bay, a woman in California recognizes her ring and buys it back.

That's the outline. Now what's needed is a Nicholas Sparks to turn it into a book, a movie, and a billion dollars.

Good start, buddy.

But I think we need to sex it up a bit. Maybe add a little ... kink factor to the plot.

(Sorry, but as you might imagine, I couldn't help with the writing, there -- though, as always, I'll be available to help with the "cleanup.")

Oh, and let's add some golf to this. Maybe the ring could show up back in Oregon, charred a bit, when Tom Doak finds it in a pile of  gorse ashes during the construction of Old Macdonald.

Ooh! Ooh! Now we're rollin'! Maybe Macdonald OWNED the ring for a time. Gave it to one of his mistresses, after a midnight assignation starting on the Bottle Hole and ending on the Alps!

Gib's an expert on Macdonald. He can be our consultant on this! Or write it himself, of course.

But whoever writes it, I suggest this nom de plume: Nicholas Spanks. The right font could turn a name like that into a billion dollars -- no matter what sort of trash it is!

Now that's moving the football down the field...or driving the golf ball down the fairway.

This can only be followed up by two sequel posts describing how the lucky couples each celebrated their rare good fortunes...

Very nice story! 

Please don't take this question the wrong way as I'm not intending to be a kill-joy but I am genuinely curious about an additional detail that I don't think got mentioned in the story. How were you able to be certain it was the SAME ring and not just another ring that looked exactly the same?  Was it a one-of-a-kind with specific markings or something like that?  It certainly looked unique in the video but it also seems possible that the jeweler created more than one.

Anyone else think of “Rosebud...Rosebud”


My wife’s engagement ring belonged to an Aunt of mine, probably dating to the 1920’s.  Over the past 20 years one of the small diamonds sheared in two and the clasps on the large central one kept lifting, so she stopped wearing it.  We took it to Hatton Garden this year and no one could repair it, and so the silver was melted and the ring remade into an (almost) identical one.  My wife is delighted and wears it with pride.  Safe in the knowledge she doesn’t read this, I can say I’m not quite so sure.

Diamonds are so hard but it takes a Fitzgerald to explain how we attach sentimental values to them.  Great story thanks for sharing.
