Recently my estranged grand mama that lived in Europe died and among her belongings we found a key for a safe at the bank. We we opened it we found a huge collection of jewels that no one knew she had. Among other things there was an impressive Diamond ring that has a certificate from Van Cleef & Arpels and Be Beers with these specs:
Carats: 30.02 (yeah thirty, not 0.30 its REALLY huge)
Cut: Ashoka
Color F
Clarity VVS1
It says it was purchased in 1958 at Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry in Paris and its mounted on platinum.
How much a ring like this can cost? A local jeweler here in NY wants to purchase it because he collects vintage jewels and he is offering us $ 30,000 USD claiming that the ring is an old one and that is why it cost less than a new ring.
God knows we need those 30 grand to pay some bills and mortage but I want to make sure its a fair price...we really dont know anything about jewels....help!!!
PD: we also found this ring was a gift from a man called Jean Phillipe Evremont De Joinville ...I don t know if that helps...
