Default Diamond and Rubies.. nice find
I hooked this one with my V3.. I knew it was there somewhere.
It had been lost in this area and I was summoned to recover it.

Default she was speachless..
The diamond was from her grandmothers wedding ring.
She had it made into this pendant..
Tried to pay me and I refused.
Although, she was a cattle farmer and sent me out of there with a couple NY Strips.. I had no issue taking those...
This was a really nice piece... really nice!
