Subject: A ring for Myleigh Author: Boyd Percy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:21:24 07/06/12 Fri I just read where Jane Austen's ring is up for auction. Sothebys estimates the ring will go for between £20,000-30,000. I'm sure Myleigh would salivate over it. Boyd [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: A ring for Myleigh Author: Dmitri [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:57:45 07/10/12 Tue I think it would be a bit of a stretch for Randy, too. He's worth a lot on paper but gets the cash only if he sells the business, which he isn't likely to do. He could budget and save up for it, but coming up with that much at once on short notice would require borrowing it from a bank or other source, I'd think. Jennifer and/or Blake could certainly do it without batting an eye, and they did it with Myleigh's big harp. Not that they're likely to for something as frivolous as a ring.

[> Subject: Re: A ring for Myleigh Author: K Pelle [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:08:04 07/10/12 Tue Well, since we're talking about Myleigh, I doubt Jane Austin's ring would interest her all that much, but imagine the thrill she'd get from a first edition copy of "Pride & Prejudice" or some object that Jane Austin actually held and used. I think she'd love to have one of the thousands of letters written by Jane Austin, especially since so few of them have survived. In fact Myleigh might swoon over something like Jane Austin's desk or even her inkwell. kp

"Sotheby’s London auction house had predicted that the ring would sell for as much as $45,000, but auctioneers were surprised by the final figure the closely-held family heirloom brought in." >I just read where Jane Austen's ring is up for >auction.
