A woman in Wales discovered this for herself when, while rifling through old things that hadn't seen the light of day in decades, she stumbled across what seemed like an ordinary box. But things aren't always what they seem, especially in old, dusty attics. If only she could open it. The woman looked through drawers, boxes, and cabinets. No key. For a moment, she feared she'd never learn what was really inside the box until a relative called her with exciting news. The key had been found. The woman dug the key into the lock, her thoughts racing with possibilities. There could have been some old, folded-up documents in the box, or maybe just some old trinkets from years past. Still, she never expected the truth. She opened the old lid of the box and saw a ring. The unexpected discovery immediately blew her away. She turned the ring over in her hands, inspecting its every detail, and some details completely took her breath away. The first clue that she had found something special was how the ring felt. It was made out of thick, flat metal. It was ornately carved, with feather shapes circling the outside. Still, the most astounding detail was harder to see. As she felt along the perimeter of the ring, she felt something unexpected. A hinge. The raised ridge proved that this was no ordinary ring. There were more secrets hidden within, and when she finally pried it open, she knew she needed an expert. The discovery of the hinge, and more importantly, what was inside, made it clear to the woman that she was way out of her element. The ring needed to be examined by an expert, so she brought it to the one place she knew she could trust. Antiques Roadshow has proven its dedication to identifying priceless items, and the woman couldn't shake the feeling that she had uncovered something special in her family's attic. What she couldn't have known, however, was just how special the ring's origins were. To her, the designs on the outside of the ring didn't mean much, and neither did the name or the date engraved on the band. The date read March 31st, 1855, so she knew it was of some historical significance. But the name was a different story. It was hard to make out the inscription of the name, given the age and size of the ring, but the two letters stood out. CB. I've got goosebumps now thinking about it, the woman told Antiques Roadshow jewelry expert Jeffrey Munn. Why goosebumps? After a couple of minutes of dedicated cleaning, the letters on the ring finally came into view, and the name they revealed not only made what was inside the ring even more astounding, but they left Munn and the ring's owner in awe. The letters revealed the name of one of the UK's literary heroines, Charlotte Bronte. With this discovery, Munn and the ring's stunned owner attempted to piece together the ring's story. Its history, it turns out, was not a happy one. Charlotte Bronte has gone down in history as the writer behind the brilliant Jane Eyre. One of the most renowned novels of the 19th century. As it turns out, her own family history is just as bleak as her protagonists'. Bronte's mother and all five of her siblings died before the author's 35th birthday. Writing was Charlotte's only comfort, but being a female writer was almost unheard of back in the 19th century. This left Charlotte with just one alternative. She was forced to publish Jane Eyre under a male suodenim, Kerr Bell. The book became an instant classic, but she wasn't able to enjoy her newfound fame for long. At the young age of 38, the newly pregnant Charlotte died. Although her death is recorded as being from tuberculosis, historians are almost certain that she actually died of hypermesis gravidarum, or extreme morning sickness. The day of her death? March 31st, 1855. The ring's inscription was no coincidence. And neither was the name. Munn determined that the ring was actually made after Charlotte's death to memorialize her life. Still, there was one detail about the ring that they had to figure out. The mysterious hinge. The ring's owner excitedly showed Munn just what the hinge was hiding. As it turns out, it wasn't just an ornamental decoration. The ring could actually be opened, and what it contained left Munn and the ring's owner reeling. They opened it up and saw… hair. The ring opens like a little biscuit tin lid, and amazingly we see this hair work within. Very finely worked and plaited hair, Munn described. And to the ring's owner's delight, Munn confirmed the hair's origin. Charlotte Bronte. It's weird to put human hair inside jewelry nowadays, but not in 1855. It was a convention to make jewelry out of hair in the 19th century. Munn said, and the reason why sheds light on Charlotte's own bizarre fear. There was a terror of not being able to remember the face and character of a person who died, Munn explained. Apparently, it was common practice back in the 1800s, especially among the Bronte family. It echoes a bracelet Charlotte wore of her two sisters' hair, Munn concluded. The ring is just one of numerous hair-infused jewelry once owned by the Brontes, but that doesn't mean the ring's value is anything to sneeze at. Without the hair, Munn estimated that the ring would be valued at just $30. But with Charlotte's hair and the inscription, the value skyrockets to $25,000. Treasures can truly exist anywhere, and one of the roadshow's most special items started out as a mystery.
