How she loved diamonds, her birthstone. Literally diamonds were her best friends. She worked very hard and each piece of jewelry she bought made her happy. Cluster of diamonds or solitaires, emeralds and sapphires with diamonds set in precious metals of gold or platinum, earrings, bracelets, necklaces in gold and Rolex gem-set watches. The most precious ones were the four carat diamond solitaire ring, the twelve carat graduated Riviere necklace bought at auctions and the Rolex watch with diamond-set bezel and dial. She collected her precious jewels for decades. Those precious jewels were her pride and joy. Her eyes sparked when she showed them, and her excitement filled the room with joy. She died ten years ago, and her eldest daughter kept them without sharing any with her sister. Where are the precious jewels now? Sold, pawned, or given away?
