Telling The Story
Lydia recounted how she acquired the ring and the questionable origin her mother claimed. However, as she mentioned the age her mother purportedly pilfered it from her employer, the jeweler abruptly interrupted, refuting the story’s plausibility. Lydia stood in stunned silence as he proceeded to explain the reasons behind his skepticism.
The Truth
According to the story, it implied that her mother had taken the ring in 1952. However, the techniques employed to create this ring were not used until after 1968! Therefore, the earliest possible production date for the ring was 1968. Lydia was left astounded by the revelation.
