It's a common scam. A common way to do it is the guy with the jewels tells you they are worth big money in the US. If you don't believe him he gives you the phone # of a jewlery store in New York City to call. When you call the NYC# they answer as a jewlery store and ask you to describe the jewels your are being offered. Invaribley the jewler tells you are getting a great deal and offers to buy the jewels from you at a huge mark-up when you get back to NY. The jewlery store is actually a guy waiting by a pay phone in a bar.
