I was wondering what the ring and bridal set are worth? SI2 0.51 CT for the ring. Bridal ring 0.23 CT with 14K white gold band.

Thanks!
 
There's no way for us to know without more info or a GIA/AGS report. No idea what "GSI" is, or whether that's their own internal lab. Unfortunately, these types of pieces are always sold for WAY more than they are worth, and are very difficult to sell for even a little bit of what they were purchased for. I would guesstimate 1,000? Maybe?
 
1,000.00 is alot of less than I had purchased for. GSI appears to be a lab out of NY, most likely internal grading. But I agree, the general consensus even at local shops was it's worth far less. I'd just like it be sold so it's not around. Someone at the shop, suggested I just " keep it". I sorta think of it as bad ju ju. Maybe not?:(sad

I'm sorry :( Like I said, stores in the mall mark up poorly cut stones and then sell them for many many times what they are actually worth. That means that people almost are never able to sell them for a decent price. I personally don't believe in bad ju ju, but I know that everyone is different. If you like it then I'd say keep it, because you just won't get much money from selling it. But if you don't like it and don't mind taking a big loss, then I'd sell it just to have it away. For example, if it was from an ex who cheated, I wouldn't care if it sold for less than $500, I'd just want it far away from me. But of course that just depends on your situation.

If you don’t mind throwing a few more dollars at it, why not have it taken apart/melted down and made into a new piece?

Otherwise, I would just sell it and take my losses. No point whatsoever in keeping it around as is if you don’t enjoy it.

I honestly don't think it's worth doing that. The diamonds are almost certainly of poor quality (because almost all "maul" store stones are), and almost no jewelers are willing to melt down gold and re-use it, because of issues with purity.
 
It isn't going to be worth anything near what you paid. Best to keep it as a memory ring to pass down or you can use the center stone in a pendant or get a matching stone to the center one to make into earrings.

Sold to LD for $1000! ...:clap::lol:

TBH, If you can find a sucker who would offer you b/t $270-$300, sell it!
 
Unfortunately, similar to Dancing Fire, even if it is worth $1000, you’ll be hard pressed to sell it even for $270-300 on sites like eBay ... if you can get an appraisal first you may get more but will have to pay for the appraisal... the best you could probably do is to find a jeweler that will sell it on consignment, I think. But if the alternative is to have it gather dust, even $100 is better (thank you Captain Obvious)

maybe take a look at how much those rings sell for on eBay to give you an idea how much you could get for it. If it is a popular brand there will be several potential buyers

Well that gives some hope that there is more selling value potential than I thought at first; however, that’s a lot of listings to compete with.

I looked up leo diamonds and found it interesting that they use a 66 facet cut. The site also states the diamonds are cut by master cutters. Maybe these diamonds are of decent quality? Does anyone here know?

And for fun I looked up your ring:
http://theleodiamond.com/trace-your-leo/

I couldn’t find anything about upgrade or buy-back policies.

I took a quick look at eBay listings and think yours would list around $1700? ... but to actually sell it, probably less. An example with a bit less carat weight:

If you decide to go the Ebay route:

Read several of the listings and look for the words and phrases they use (estate jewelry, NOT 'used', etc...) Take the time to create outstanding pictures of the items and get as specific with the descriptions as you can. Also, avoid using negatives (the reason for bad ju-ju for example) in any way. Best Wishes.
 
I think this is your band :

Look it's not worthless as it seems that the brand is desirable. Also ring sales tend to increase a lot in the run up to Christmas and new year, so perhaps you will get lucky!!

Also your one is currently out of stock so that may make it more appealing. Perhaps it would be wise to mention that on eBay if you decide to go that route?

I have a Leo round 0.51ct solitaire in its original yellow gold setting that I picked up at a local pawn shop earlier this year, and it actually is a decent stone. Because of the extra faceting, it has serious white light return, with fire that seems just a touch more pin-fiery than a MRB. I'm strongly considering selling it, just because I've figured out over the last several months (after finding my grandmother's little transitional cut ring) that I really am an old-cut gal and want to free up funds for my dream old cut, but I've worn it quite a bit and enjoyed doing so.
 
I think sometimes PSer’s don’t realize that the general public is not as informed as us or that they love overall wedding sets that are branded. Also, Leo is marketed as a superb cut and it is not at all like maul diamonds. Good luck with your sale. You should be able to recoup a lot of your money on eBay.
