Hi all-
I am going through divorce and just trying to get an idea of the resale value of my engagement and wedding rings.
The engagement ring is a 1.00 carat princess cut diamond (E, VSI) in a platinum setting with another .23 carats of channel set diamonds (average quality H, VSII. The original cost of the diamond was $5,300 and the setting was $1,200. The appraisal that came with the ring says $10,300, which seems a little crazy since we certainly didn''t pay that much for it!
The wedding ring is platinum setting with another .25 carats of channel set diamonds; not sure of the average quality but I would assume it''s the same as the setting of the engagement ring. There are no noticable differences between the diamonds. This cost about $1,200.
Right now the rings are being looked at by a jeweler and I should be getting their offer tomorrow. I just wanted to a little research so I would know if they are making a good offer. I played around with the tool at the top and for a similar diamond the price was around $3,500-4,500. I assume that price is what another consumer would pay for it, not what a jeweler would pay me for it.
Do you think it reasonable to expect $2-3k altogether for both rings? Thanks in advance!
