Also, "2019 M"? Your close family friend is over 2000 years old? Is the close family friend Sauron?
Olórin/Gandalf, though he'd be older than that. Someone down thread said a little over 3000
If you go by Gandalf's age as a Maia in general, he'd be as old as the world. So, roughly 10,000 years, if you don't account for the fact that the Years of the Lamps and the Years of the Trees were longer than a standard year.
If you go by when he showed up in Middle-Earth as Gandalf the Grey in year 1000 of the Third Age he'd be 2018 at the time he confirms Bilbo's ring is the One and confronts Frodo about it in year 3018 of the Third Age.
Gandalf The Grey would have been 2019 years old when he was mutually slain by Durin's Bane after falling from the bridge in Khazad-Dum.
Gandalf The White then first appeared a few months later and would be only two years old at the time he sails west with Frodo, Bilbo, Galadriel, and Elrond.
A couple decades ago, I actually tried to calculate it and came up with somewhere close to 13,000 years, adjusting for the wonky time. There are also somewhat contradictory numbers too (such as when Gandalf says how long he's been alive).
Being older than 30, I can understand that a being older than 1000 would get confused about their age (especially if the time unit changed since they started counting!)
ESH
Your uncle clearly misappropriated property not belonging to him.
By accepting it as a gift, you are now an accessory to the fact.
Old friend of yours is asking you to participate in destruction of property, doesn't matter how small or valueless it seems it's not yours to keep discard or destroy... You should be trying to find the rightful owner and returning said item.
These things while seemingly insignificant hold great value and meaning to their owners. I know this cause I'm a jeweller and I've had customers tell me how precious their jewellery can be.

oh thank god, i was worried you might be a jeweler for a second.
ESH? Everyone's a Shit Head?
Everyone's Sauron Here
Essentially, yes. As I understand, it stands for Everyone Sucks Here.
In case you don’t actually know and I’m not being whooshed, it means Everyone Sucks Here
Are there mobile 111 year olds?
It's not uncommon for some folks to live well past 120, but I hear OP's uncle is exceptionally spry for an older feller. Almost looks like he hasn't aged a day in the last 60 years.
Definitely looks well-preserved.
Almost stretched thin.
Like butter over to much bread.
NTA. You are under no obligation to help other people cancel some jeweler who's probably dead now anyway. Enjoy your ring and fuck the haters.
NTA. The jeweler may have had a politically incorrect past, but the times have changed and so have the people. Why not go seek the jeweler and have a frank conversation about their current principles, and then make an informed decision?
Henry Ford was a literal Nazi and people still buy his cars.
It's actually worse than that... he influenced them.
His screeds against Jewish people became so well-known at home and abroad that he is the only American whom Adolf Hitler compliments by name in Mein Kampf.

Yes, but, if Henry Ford were alive today, would he still be a Naz....
(Yeah alright we both know the answer; I'm not gonna insult our intelligences)
Exactly! Those "problematic associations" are just elvish propaganda because the elves don't agree with the traditional values the jeweller stands for.
Agreed, and given how much of that rift stems from mild music preferences and involuntary erythropoietic porphyria, I no longer subscribe to elven newsletters.
