00:00Yeah, I found this. I was cleaning out some drawers and stuff.
00:03My mother gave it to me years ago, and I was wanting to find out how much it was worth.
00:08This thing looks crazy. What is it?
00:10It's a black widow. Do you know what you have here?
00:12No, not at all.
00:13This is Fabergé. Fabergé was one of the most famous jewelry designers in the world.
00:19He was the jeweler to the Russian court.
00:21When people say Fabergé, they mean Peter Fabergé, one of the greatest jewelers of all time.
00:25This guy became famous for his Fabergé eggs, but he actually made everything from silverware to necklaces to rings.
00:31And just about anything he touched is considered a masterpiece.
00:33What you have here is pre-revolution Russian imperial jewelry.
00:37That's onyx underneath there. This white metal right here, that is all platinum.
00:41Those are diamonds. There's sapphires in the feet. Those are rubies in the eyes.
00:45This is the kind of stuff that royalty wears. It's absolutely beautiful.
00:49I can't believe this woman had a Fabergé brooch sitting around in a drawer somewhere.
00:52This is the one thing everyone hopes they'll stumble across when they're going through Grandma's stuff.
00:56What did you want to do with it?
00:57I want to get rid of it.
00:58And how much were you looking to get out of it?
01:00A couple thousand.
01:01I would really, really like to give you like 2,000 bucks for it, but unfortunately I have a conscience.
01:06I'll cut to the chase. I'll give you $15,000 for it.
01:10This is stuff you do not see every day.
01:12How about 17? A man that's willing to pay 15 will definitely pay 17 for that.
01:16No, he won't.
01:17How about 16? How about 15-5?
01:19This is why I hate having a conscience.
