80 Year Old Florida Woman Accidentally Downs $5K Diamond With Glass Of Champagne
TAMPA, Fla - A $5,000 diamond meant to make its way on to a necklace or set on a ring made its way into an 80-year-old woman's belly instead.
The Tampa Woman's Club held an event over the weekend where they poured 400 flutes of champagne. Inside each flute was a cubic zirconia, and one of the flutes contained a $5,000 diamond donated by Continental Wholesale Diamond.
"We were laughing and I wasn't paying attention and I took a swallow," said Miriam, who declined to give her last name.
After patrons finished their drinks, the real diamond was nowhere to be found.
"We were going table to table," explained Andrew Meyer, a partner at Continental Wholesale Diamond. "There were 400 flutes so were going quickly table to table and in the end there was no diamond."
Then, an elderly woman came forward and said she accidentally swallowed what was in her flute.

"Hi Vert"
"Howdy Smernet"
Vert suddenly looks away, quickly raising his arm.
"Geez Smernet, where or what did that come from. It's big and beautiful. Lovely diamond, may I see it?
Smernet nervously twiddles with the ring on her finger.
"Sure Vert, but before I do, let me tell you a story about my great grandmother Miriam."
Peace.
