But would Debra ever even consider taking it for professional consideration, given how long ago she had purchased it? What was in store for the mysterious ring?

One rather tragic event would prompt Debra to embark on some creative financial ventures.

On seeing it, the jeweler suggested an appraisal immediately, suggesting it could be an authentic diamond.
