Itty,bitty, Alex''s worth appraising?

[Leanne]

As many of you know, I''m heading to an appraiser soon. I''ve got a necklace with a .20 natural Alexandrite with good color change & ring with a .30 Alexandrite with pretty good color change. I doubt that they are AAA quality but they are nice. Do any of you know how much they might be worth? They are both lightly included.

Hi,

On the retail level the price per carat in the good range for that size stone ranges from $1,000 to $4,000 per carat. Can't pin point it anymore than that without seeing the stone.

Can you post a picture of your necklace? I would love to see it, I can' even imagine by description what you're talking about.
