Michael Beaudry engagement ring

[donarayj]

I have a michael Beaudry engagement ring and matching band and i am not sure where to start to get an estimate for the ring and where I can sell it.
Do appraisers take into consideration the designer? any suggestions on appraisers in the los angeles area that know the value of a Beaudry ring?
any recommendations for store fronts that buy or take on consignment would be great? Or would I be better off selling it myself online or in the paper?
i''m clueless!

Pearlmans Jewelers is a Beaudry dealer and also consigned used designer rings. I''d check with them. I''ve consigned 2 peices with them and it was very easy and they only take 15% of the agreed upon price which was much lower than the local stores I looked into.

Thanks for the info! i''ll check them out. how did you go about determing a price? Do they usually tell you what the price should be set at to sell?

they asked me what i was hoping to get and then we discussed whether that was a realistic amount or not based on the condition of the pieces and the market value at the time. you can take a look at their consignment section, there are a couple of the high priced beaudry''s there now.
