" about 91,000 for the ring, which isn't that bad" that require a sharp eye to see true value. " you at the way the light refracts, if there are any dead spots in the stone, you look for any unusual markings along the stone" jeweler david lampert has looked through his loupe at high-end diamonds for 26 years and now he's seeing a spike in price. " basically, they're flying. they're getting record prices for the major important diamonds. its getting harder to source diamonds bigger than 5 carats. there's a real value to these items." but even for the pros. " i don't necessarily make money on every diamond i sell." profiting on the precious gems can be a tough task. now i never tell anyone to buy a diamond or a piece of jewelery for an investment, but the value is always there. you know, at first i thoug

, in the nile when she was filming one of her movies, her death was sort of like the death of marilyn monroe, it was a great mystery, had she been murdered? the candidates for having killed her were virtually everybody. the american oss, the mi6, the british secret service, king farooq of egypt, you name it. the gestapo. anyone might have killed her because she had so many enemy, and she'd seduced everybody. so she's definitely one of the heroines of jerusalem. >> host: who lives in jerusalem now? what's the population? >> guest: you know, the -- well, it's now overwhelmingly a jewish city. and it's more jewish than it's ever been. there are, perhaps, i think there were something like 200,000, 300,000 palestinians living there. and there was something like 9 or 800,000 depending on the municipalities. so it's overwhelmingly now a jewish city, and it's more jewish than it's ever been, perhaps since the days of herod the great. there are and a beautiful city now. i mean, the old city, you know, has been, you know, the archaeological sites there are astonishing. for example, you know, they've n
