TWO guests were left speechless on last night\u2019s episode of Antiques Roadshow after a ring they found hidden inside a sock was revealed to be worth more than a car.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jewellery specialist Joanna Hardy delivered life changing news to two guests on Sunday night\u2019s episode of the BBC antiques show, after she valued their diamond ring at \u00a320,000.<\/p>\n

The ring had been a family heirloom, but a mother and her daughter only discovered it by chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ring was my mum\u2019s,\u201d said the first guest. \u201cWe\u2019re pretty sure it was given to her by my late-grandfather. We were helping her, clearing out stuff, and in the sock drawer we stumbled upon this ring that was wrapped up in a sock,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n

Joanna was shocked to learn that was where they found the ring, speculating that anything could have happened to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At first she worried it could have been headed for the washing machine, before saying: \u201cYou could have just given it to charity!\u201d<\/p>\n

Joanna then took a closer look at the stunning diamond ring, which she said was made in 1915 from platinum.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a transitional cut diamond, Joanna said it has a much softer look about it. \u201cThis has such an air of sophistication,\u201d she added, comparing it to the \u201cbrash\u201d modern brilliant cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joanna also noted that the huge almost-4 carat diamond has nearly perfect clarity too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The only detail she noticed wasn\u2019t quite right was that one of the claws holding the diamond needed adjusting back in place slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, once that\u2019s fixed, the ring would have a value of \u00a320,000 at an auction, she told them.<\/p>\n

Stunned that the ring could be worth more than a car, the first guest replied: \u201cWow! Oh gosh! I better get that claw fixed quickly then! Wow!\u201d while her daughter was left speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is such a stunning, stunning ring. Absolutely lovely!\u201d Joanna concluded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This discovery at Crystal Palace Park comes just a week after viewers raged at host Fiona Bruce over the show\u2019s new format.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Antiques Roadshow returned last week and the first episode of Season 46 took viewers to sunny Swanage.<\/p>\n

However, some weren\u2019t happy with the show\u2019s \u201cnew look\u201d format and Fiona\u2019s bigger role in the show.<\/p>\n

Not only did she provide her usual introductory commentary and voiceovers, but Fiona enjoyed a lengthy chat with expert Raj Bisman, taking a look back at some of his favourite antiques. She then shared another segment with Will Farmer, which saw them play a little game where she had to guess the prices of several pieces of Poole pottery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen are they going to go the whole hog and rename it \u2018Fiona Bruce\u2019s Antiques Roadshow?\u2019\u201d one viewer commented afterward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This week, Fiona had a continued presence throughout the episode, which concluded with her recapping her favourite antique from the episode, which was a doll sculpture that was missing a foot. Despite its condition, it was valued at \u00a33,000 to \u00a34,000 at auction.<\/p>\n

Antiques Roadshow is available to watch on BBC iPlayer and continues on Sunday at 8pm on BBC1.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
