Valuation for Sapphire & Diamond ring

[rimbaud11]

HI there!
I inherited this ring. Was bought for about $1000 more than 40 years ago. Just interested as to its value if I were to sell to a jeweller or on ebay.

Anthony, to be honest, its very hard to tell valuation from a picture. To get that, you''d do better to take the ring to an independant appraiser whom specializes in colored stone jewelery.

I agree, it is impossible to see anything in the picture. Especially since there are so many diamonds around it. Quality of the diamonds is so important.

There are too many variables:
1. Sapphire carat weight and treatment
2. Carat weight and clarity of the diamonds
3. Gram weight of the setting, plus is it white gold or platinum?
