Anyone know anything about diamonds?

bookie2011 · May 30, 2011

Dont know where to put this, so I picked this forum haha.

I have a diamond ring, 3 stone anniversary ring. My cousin bought it for his chick, things didnt work out and she gave it back. I bought it off of him for 2200. He told me it was insured for over 5k, but didnt have any receipts of the ring, just insurence papers. I beleive him. My 1st cousin. Just needed some money so I helped him out. I dont know what to do with this though.

Any one have any ideas or know a lot about diamonds who can help me out. Maybe give me some estimated value or places that would pay top dollar for diamonds. I would get rid of it for 2500 probably.

There are 3 bigger stones. Middle being the biggest, surrounding the middle are two decent sized stones. and boardering the 3 stones, are a total or 26 small diamonds, above and below (so double band ring) and its 14k gold..

My wife would know but you aren't giving any pertinent information. I would take it to a few stores local to you and have it appraised. You can compare and decide how much you can get for it.

yeah, wish i knew details on it...have a good friend who owns 3 jewelry stores, family business, been in it for over 40 years.....but without details , i couldnt get ya any help

bookie2011 · May 30, 2011

I think I did it right. Check it out and let me know what you guys think.

bookie2011 · May 30, 2011

Someone told me that if this ring was insured for 5000$ it is possible that the value of it is much higher then that. Insurence companies only insure up to 5k on jewelry?

I dont know if its true. But in comparison to rings in stores, it compares to 7000$ rings. So im confussed. My fiance says its expensive but bad luck if I keep it. So shes begging me to sell it. I just dont know where and for how much lol.

Impossible to tell anything from that picture. If you can get a certified appraisal you may be able to unload it at a store or pawn shop for what you paid, but they are going to low ball you big time.

i'd get a bigger one , cause that one doesnt fit.

Stylez · May 30, 2011

bookie2011 · May 30, 2011

Yes I guess I will get it appraised.
