I Have this ring and I want to know how much its worth or if there is a ring like it listed in the internet.

I searched and couldn't find it.

Thanks.
 
Are there any stamps on the inside? If so, can you take a picture and post them (in focus please)? Do you have a guess as to the country of origin?
 
only the 18K gold stamp, I got it along with a Breguet watch before around 14 years. I think the ring is also Breguet.
 
The only Breguet pieces I've ever seen have a swirly Breguet signature along the bottom of the shank (under your finger). Most if not all designer settings are marked. The style reminds me of Charles Krypell in the 1980s, which are marked C. Krypell in a more blocky style. If the ring was resized, the marks may have come off with the shank. Unfortunately, that makes attributing it to a designer very hard.

You might check with one of the better auction houses to see if they have a appraiser that works on contemporary jewelry like this. That overall shape seems so familiar.

This was the closest I could find and it lacks the bezel diamond. http://www.thomasjewelerssewickley....rald-estate-ring-in-18k-yellow-gold-size-7-5/
 
It’s an attractive ring, very solid and well made. Your ring has a “value” according to the gold weight and diamonds / rubies / emeralds but the “market value” as a second hand ring is more, but how much could only be determined by an auction if 2 or more people wish to acquire it. The centre diamond seems large so a seperate valuation / assessment would be recommended.
 
Any idea where I can sell it, it belongs to my father, he got it as a gift from a very rich business man.
he said its worth 1M$.

Are you saying 1 million dollars in US dollars? Or perhaps you type something in wrong?
 
Yes I mean 1 million dollars, I got an offer from a guy in UAE with 200K$ that what made me believe its worth more

The best way to know what you have is to find a knowledgeable appraiser and see the true value of what you have. I was making a general comment for myself, but based on what you shared about missing stamps, even if the piece is a brand ring, it may be challenging to prove it. That said, nothing is impossible. Do you know how large the center stone is, even if you can just measure the diameter, that would be helpful, do you know any of the other specs?

Edit: Seeing @rockysalamander comp at $820, I'd definitely take $200k:lol-2:
 
If someone offered 200k for it, it might be worthwhile to also send it to Christie's for an appraisal. For all we know it might be a piece belonging to someone famous which drives up the price, and some appraisers may not be able to tell you that.
 
If someone offered you $200k, they either know something about the design you don't, or, the money is not a big deal to them. A buyer from UAE may have the funds necessary to buy what they like, without regard to the "value". The stones are not large or rare enough by eye to justify that price by weight. So, it must either by the buyer's preference of the designer. You lack any providance for the ring and it lacks stamps to definitivly tie it to a designer. You lack any way to tie it to the origional wearer that could confer great value. So, you need to find someone who can tell you that history and document it, if it exists. A lot of men's designers use channel setting and repeared liner features.

You could try to contact one of the Sotheby's jewellry specialts, to get a referral to a specialist (http://www.sothebys.com/en/departments/jewellery/specialists.html). You could also contact David Atlas (https://datlas.com/) to see if he can refer you to an appriser with expeirence with contemporary designer jewellery. You don't just want the valuation to be based on the stones and metal, you are seeking to find if there is something important here.
 
p.s. apologies for the spelling errors. Was typing on my phone while "working" :)
 
I will agree with the others that the materials in that ring would likely amount to maybe $10k or so depending on the size and specs of the center diamond. So it would have to be a very special piece by a very famous designer to even imagine how the price could be $200k. I'd be very interested to hear what an appraiser would say.

When you don't mention legitimate lab reports I assume the worst that the colored stones are lab-created and the clear stones may be lab-created too.
Even if natural diamonds the ring is NO WAY near 6-figures.

A million dollars, you say? :doh:
Even $200,000, you say? :doh:
Even a tenth of that, you say? :doh:

I have some ocean-front real estate in Kansas to sell to you.

The ring is not a particularly attractive design these days. For pieces like they you are often only offered the value of the gold weight and stones if you are lucky. If the ring appeals to many people at an auction per say and/or if it is a designer piece that can be proven, price may be higher. I doubt the former would be true though that is in the eyes of the beholder. The latter you have to get it proven by a recommended appraiser as others have stated here.

If it is not a very famous and rare designer piece and if the stones are all natural and high quality you may be lucky to get 10 K unless say the center stone is a D IF, then perhaps a bit more. But none of the stones are large or outstanding looking, neither is the design.

There is no sane human being on Earth to offer 200 K for this ring. If you are serious that you have such an offer, sell because it will be a sale of a lifetime unless they are scamming you with fake money or wire transfer scams. Has this purchaser seen the ring IRL? Do you know or have references for this person?

To sum up this ring is very unlikely to be worth over 10 K. You absolutely must hire an appraiser to prove your assumptions here. Many people gift jewelry saying it is a famous expensive piece. 99% of the time that is not true.

If you like it, it is a nice gift, wear it. If the stones turn out to be natural perhaps reset what you can. Just get the facts first before attempting to do anything with it.

Split the difference and sell it to him for $500K...:lol:
 
Perhaps he meant 1M yen.
Unless this ring belonged to the Duchess of Windsor or Elizabeth Taylor I don't see a particularly high value for it. And the 200k offer from the UAE? Hold onto your wallet, I smell scam.

Thanks , i will try to contact them and see what they will say about it ..
 
if you think it is worth more than the weight of the gold and stones, please take it to a knowledgeable appraiser. Strangers on the internet are not likely to have details on an unstamped ring if the only marking is the 18k.
 
I am going back home next week i will try to look deep for more stamps , hopefully there are more than the 18K , when i took pics i didn't really look deep for stamps , will see then update here.

Great. You might at least take it to a jeweler and see if they can find any stamps. Most stamps are on the inside of the shank, but some additional stamps may be tucked into odd areas. Like I said, it reminds me of Charles Krypell, as his designs has a lot of channel set stones and asymmetry. But, even an authenticated Krypell would not confer such a great value as you have been told.

But, a lot of contemporary designers use similar designs.

If the ring was ever sized dramatically, the original stamp could be lost.
 
Did they offer you a cashier's check for $500K and you could refund the difference?
