A toy box trinket for a 4 year old in the United Kingdom turned out to be much more than that in 2011. The family thought the jewels on the brooch they purchased for £20 were fake diamonds, but when Thea Jourdan was getting her engagement ring appraised for insurance, the brooch caught the appraiser's eye. The brooch was once worn by a Russian czarina and Jourdan later sold it for $43,000.
