He concludes that he does not recognize the piece
The jeweler took the ring, placing it under a bright lamp for a better view. He turned it over, examining every angle with a magnifying glass.
“I don’t recognize this piece,” he finally said, sounding a bit disappointed. However, he couldn’t help but admire it.
“It’s remarkable, really,” he added, impressed by the craftsmanship. Janet and Lucy exchanged looks, their hopes dashed but curiosity piqued by his comment.
