Approximate Value? No appraisers in my area....

I have an idea my dad paid about $600 for this ring about 10 years ago..

No one is going to be able to tell you anything from the photos alone. Is it silver, white gold, platinum, or some other metal? Are they diamonds, white sapphires, spinels, CZ, or something else? Are the green stones emeralds, garnets, glass, and are they natural, lab created, or treated in any way? Is the appraisal for insurance or for private party sale? The list of questions goes on and on!

I know my dad paid quite a bit for it, 14k yellow gold, I believe they are natural emeralds, round cut.

I'm no expert but from checking out ebay maybe $100 - $125. Maybe more if you can find the right
Buyer.

Most jewelry stores can give write up an appraisal if you need one for estate or insurance purposes. "estate" value will be lower. "insurance" is usually at full brick & mortal store retail value and maybe even has some extra % applied to it, like you would pay to replace that ring if you had to pay full market rate.

It's an older style of anniversary ring that isn't seen too much now. Sometimes styles come and go. At one point, the '20s and '30s ornate art deco rings probably looked like outdated old junk. But now they are hot. Marquise diamonds were hot, pears were hot back in the '50s and '60, and now both of those shapes are coming back. You'd probably get only lowball offers or close to scrap value if you sold it now. If you inherited it, just keep it as an heirloom.

That seems kind of low. Here's one that's really close and they want $550.

Here's a sold listing which is sort of close and went for $400.

Anyhow it would depend on the quality of the diamonds (if they are diamonds) and the emeralds (if they are natural emeralds) and the karat of the gold, the workmanship, the brand name if it's identifiable. E-bay buyers will just assume the worst or send it back if the quality turns out to be lower than expected.

I am sorry to say you might get $100.00 the secondary market is cruel. You can try preloved here on PS, of troupe loupe, or Ruby Lane. But the reality is that the retail stores add so much mark up on a ring like this that there really is no resale value. But you should try one of the second hand selling services.

You said it yourself the first ring was WANTING $500 and the second is 18K gold and a little more contemporary
