Fran's family wouldn't 'forget' these!

Treasure trove of precious gems family 'forgot' in bank vault for 30 years


A stunning collection of gems which lay forgotten in a bank vault for 30 years has been unearthed - and is set to sell for more than £100,000.

The emeralds, sapphires rubies and diamonds were locked away in a private bank-vault for safe-keeping in about 1980 but were then forgotten about.

It wasn't until the family's affairs were being sorted out recently that the vault was opened.

The beautiful hoard of jewellery is thought to have been amassed at the start of the 20th century by an unknown woman owner.
