I nabbed a dresser from the side of the road… the drawer didn’t close, then I made a potentially life-changing discovery
A WOMAN who picked up a dresser someone had left by the side of the road was left stunned when she realised what was stopping one of the drawers from closing.
Noneya explained that she couldn’t resist nabbing the wooden dresser when she saw that someone had ditched it and left it out for others to take.
But when she got home, she realised that one of the drawers wouldn’t close, and she couldn’t figure out why.
She then used her torch to shine to the back of the drawer, and spotted what looked like a ring box.
“So I opened up Pandora’s box…” Noneya said in her TikTok video.
At that point, she opened up the ring box and showed what was inside.
Nestled in the centre of the box were three rings.
The biggest was a gold ring with huge clusters of what appeared to be diamond on the top.
There was also another gold ring which looked to have some kind of stone in the middle, and a smaller ring with one big diamond and lots of little ones.
Noneya added that she was going to get the rings appraised to see what they were made of and how much they were worth.
She also shared a “storytime” about how she came across the dresser, as she explained that it was a “city wide” rubbish pickup where everyone puts their “junk” on the street.
The people that had put the dresser out own a moving company and regularly pick up items to upcycle and resell, so they always have “nice things” Noneya added.
The pair also told her that they’d picked up the dresser from a charity shop, and therefore didn’t know the previous owner.
Despite that, the majority of comments on the video were people urging Noneya to “return” the rings, to which she responded: “They had just picked the dresser up from a thrift store and never used it themselves at all.”
“Make sure you try to give them back because those could be heirlooms,” another added.
Noneya revealed in another video that she would try to track down the family, but the odds of her finding them were “very slim”.
Who inherited Princess Diana's jewellery?
AFTER her death, Diana's sons Prince William and Prince Harry were left three-quarters of her £21 million estate — with the other quarter going to her 17 godchildren.
In a special “letter of wishes”, Diana explained that she was leaving her jewellery to her sons’ future wives.
The letter reads: “I would like you to allocate all my jewellery to the share to be held by my sons, so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it.
“I leave the exact division of the jewellery to your discretion.”
Some of Diana’s most iconic gems were on loan from the royal collection, while others were not included in her estate.
“You don’t have to find the owner that’s on them. Those are yours now!” someone else wrote.
“Keep it, finders keepers,” another insisted.
“My jaw dropped. Keep them!!!” a third wrote.
Noneya is still awaiting an official appraisal, but also added she has no intention of selling them on, and they’ll “stay with” her.
