If you are in doubt, I am sure that I am not the only jewelry appraiser in this ballroom. You can have them check the ring," He said then he looked around as if challenging anyone to step forward and check the ring as well.
As if he found it as a cue for him to speak, the man with a handlebar mustache spoke, "Is there any appraiser in here in the room aside from Mr. Blanchet?" His voice was intentionally loud and echoed through the ballroom. His head was tilted upwards while looking around as if searching for anyone to raise his hand.
