Get it. The Birch Show. All right, we have Annette Esposito in studio this morning from Holly Springs Jewelers. And I think it's really funny that when we ask Bert Show listeners, look, if you got a piece of jewelry that you were really kind of on the fence about that you didn't know if it was real or if it was fake, would you want to know? And we took a whole bunch of calls and like 80% of those calls

from women said, yeah, I would want to know one way or another. Even if I did it without my husband knowing that I went and I got the education, I would want to know if it's a real diamond or not, right? So we had all these people set up over the last couple of weeks and one by one, they have dropped out when reality struck and we told them,

look, we can do this thing until we got down to one person. I'm not exactly sure why that is,

but what's that? Chikins. Would you just rather not know and just assume? That's like so fifth

grade. You're yeller. You're chicken. Well, I wonder if it, when it comes to crunch on, like you said, I wonder if they're, like, it would change. Oh, my God, if you found it it was fake, I mean, just imagine the repercussions of that. You know, like if you had this engagement ring, especially, that you found out was fake, I don't know. Wouldn't you want to know the truth though one way or the other? Or would you just like to say, you know what?

I'm sure it's real.

And just talk yourself into believing it is?

If you've been waiting a long time to get engaged, I'm not sure you want to know right off

the bat.

You might want to bask in that glory for a little while.

Okay.

Well, first we're going to put Tracy's jewelry underneath the microscope here. Isn't it the monicle? Underneath the monicle? It's a loop. A loop? A loop. Underneath a loop. All right. And then we're going to talk to a bird show listener, Kristen, whose story's a little bit more intriguing. But, Trace, tell us the history behind this piece of jewelry. Well, my mom and dad started dating when they were very, very young, and my dad gave my mom a pair of diamond earrings. Or I'm assuming their diamond earrings when they were 16 years old. My mom lost one of them in the beach, so of course they're now divorced, and she thought I might like to have the other one, so I had it made into a necklace. But I don't know don't know, he was 16. Like, can 16 year olds really

afford diamonds? But then it's never been told to me that they weren't real diamonds. So I have no idea. Does your mom just assume that they were real? I don't think she's ever said. Like, I think that I've always just assumed they were diamonds and she's never told me differently. you know like I always just said it's your

you know your diamond

earring that you lost can I make it into

a that I've always just assumed they were diamonds, and she's never told me differently. You know, like I always just said it's your diamond,

you know, your diamond earring that you lost. Can I make it into a necklace? And she's like, yeah, sure. Your dad gave it to me. So she never said, well, honey, they're not real diamonds. Would this, if you find out it's fake, will you start wearing it less? Actually, I don't wear it that much now

because I'd always assumed it was real

and it meant so much to me

because my dad gave it to my mom

that I never wanted to risk losing it.

So I kind of have it.
