"...Hours are spent sorting jewels that have been thrown into cardboard boxes from the cleaned out house. There, tangled in plastic bags - broken, encrusted with mummified bugs, musty, corroded - then, in perfect condition with affidavits of value: West Germany, Julianna unsigned gems, Australia, real to faux pearls, sterling, Czech Republic, solid gold, Swarovski crystals, multiple sets of sapphires and rubies. And amid the kitten motif junk, so many engagement and wedding rings it is unclear how many times she might have been married."
