A guest on Antiques Roadshow was left stunned after a bracelet her husband bought for a 'bargain' price received a huge valuation.
Presenter Fiona Bruce and the rest of the BBC team visited Brodie Castle in the North Scottish county of Moray in the latest episode of the beloved programme.
Expert Geoffrey Munn was tasked with evaluating "a trio of treasures" after a guest brought along a diamond bracelet, that was gifted to her by her husband on her wedding day, a pearl-set brooch and a Russian cigarette case.
Geoffrey left the owner of the diamond bracelet shocked when he revealed how much her "bargain" jewellery item was really worth.

"It's very important to have a jewellery-buying husband, they're remarkably rare. I think they're threatened species," the expert joked.
He continued: "It's made of open work platinum panels, but each one is hinged and so it moves with you. And is a beautiful example of setting brilliant cut diamonds."
Moving onto the brooch, Geoffrey revealed the design was painted in the Renaissance taste in France in the mid-19th century.
"This black and white enamel is very much associated with English 19th century jewellery and the pearl, and in perfect condition so that's good," he added.
The expert finished the valuation by turning his attention to the final item, a Faberge cigarette case complete with a ruby made in pre-revolution Russia.
Revealing the items' value, Geoffrey said: "This is tricky. This arbitrary cigarette case is a remarkably plain one, but in this particular instance, I think it's probably worth £2,000 (€2,300)," before revealing the brooch was worth £5,000 (€5,700).
"The intrinsic value of the bracelet isn't huge, but the fact that it's extraordinarily attractive and anybody would like to wear it and have it so I'm going to say £10,000 pounds (€11,400) for that," he added.
The Antiques Roadshow expert concluded the guest's three items amounted to £17,000 (€19,400).
"That's incredible, my husband will be very happy he got a bargain," the guest remarked as the expert hit back: "Well he's obviously a man of great discrimination and taste."
The owner later added: "I can't believe that my bracelet is worth £10,000 (€11,400). My husband's going to be very shocked. I only thought Faberge created eggs I didn't realise they did anything else."
