Hi
I been tasked with selling a few really beautiful pieces from my grandfather and I am hoping to get some guidance on what I could expect price wise if selling to a jeweler. I have been given guidance on using Christie's for estimates as well, but they say the take 4-6 weeks to respond.
Here are the notes from the original appraisal:
MENS HEART SHAPED RING:
One (1) fourteen-karat (14kt) yellow gold heart shaped "gypsy ring holding one (1) round brilliant cut diamond weighing approximately 3.70ct. having VS clarity with H color. Replacement Value $51,000
Aquamarine and Diamond Necklace:
"One (1) ladies fourteen-karat (14kt) white gold aquamarine and diamond necklace, the center aquamarine measures 35mm x 25mm and is very clean with nice deep color. The side accents have pave set diamonds weighing approximately 1.25carat total weight and six (6) emerald cut aquamarine measuring 6,5mm x 3.8mm. The chain is a meshed flat rectangular link" Replacement Value $20,000
So far I have brought them to place the who originally did the appraisal back in 2005, and am waiting to hear back on their offer.
In the mean time, I have used the price guide on this site and it seems like the 3.7 carat diamond ring could be worth around 60-70k, so am I right to assume maybe 30-45k would be a reasonable offer from a jeweler?
I cannot find much on the aquamarine and diamond necklace in regards to value so any insight on that front would be helpful. I was told it was originally a ring worn by a 40's acress/model Carol Landis
Thanks
