I found a diamond ring in a parking lot once.

It was outside a fairly romantic restaurant. I envisioned all sorts of horrific scenarios where someone lost this heirloom. I put up signs all over the building, left my name with the restaurant. Never got a call. I gave it two months.

Then I took it to a jeweler at the mall. They ran it through the ultrasonic cleaner and put it in their conductivity meter. Yeah, Moissanite or CZ. The scenarios in my head changed tenor.

I listed it on eBay and included the story of its provenance. Think I made $250 off it or something. All in all, pretty dope.
