I have an antique engagement ring that I''m wanting to sell. It was bought my my ex-mother-in-law at an antique shop in New Orleans and I really love the ring and used it as a right hand ring. However, it doesn''t really have any sentimental value to me and I could use the money.
My local jeweler cleaned the ring and did a minor repair for me. They told me it was worth about $2500, but I think that''s a bit high. I know the diamond has some minor damage (not visible to the naked eye). I don''t know the specs on it, except that it is an old mine cut and .75 carat.
The ring is white gold and has a few small side diamonds.
I can''t seem to get a good photo, but I''ve included the poor ones I have.
Someone offered me $700. Is that giving it away? What might be reasonable for a private party sale?
