It is true, as the Commonwealth points out, that the trier of fact may employ "common sense" and common experience to determine the valuation issue. See Commonwealth v. Muckle , 59 Mass.App.Ct. 631, 643, 797 N.E.2d 456 (2003), citing Commonwealth v. Hosman , 257 Mass. 379, 385-386, 154 N.E. 76 (1926). Here, however, equipped only with the brand and photograph of the ring, we cannot conclude that the application of common sense and experience is sufficient to fill the evidentiary gap. Compare Muckle , supra (noting jury may apply "common sense" to conclude that value of vehicle exceeded $250), with Tracy , 27 Mass.App.Ct. at 467, 539 N.E.2d 1043 (concluding common experience of jurors insufficient to establish that value of firearm exceeded one hundred dollars).
