This is be far my best find..and it came yesterday, the day after Christmas...what a present to myself.. Found it at a school playground in the wood chips 3 inches down in front of swings. Had it checked by two separate jewelers and it's REAL !!! .80 Ct counting the 6 side stones. Jewelers both told me they could not find any inclusions or flaws which makes it a perfect cut, they said very hard to get, Estimated replacement value is around $2500 - $3,000. It's not the beach ...but it will do until warmer weather.

Great find.

If you can find the owner that would be great.

If you can't find the owner that would be great.

You will always have a $3000 story to tell either way. :D

Man, if I could come up with something like that... my wife would never again think I'm nuts spending all those hours "treasure" hunting and probably woldn't mind so much when I do go. That would make her whole year! (Mine too!)

Congrats!

The $7500 was the appraised value I got from the Gemologist at the jewelry store where I had it appraised...that was after the intial value I was given by the Pawn shop i went to initially...btw..they offered me $1000 for it that first day...he was upset I think when I told him no...then he told me it was worth probably 2,000 - 3000..what an idiot !! LOL

Nice ring, that is for sure! Just curious, but why did you list the estimated value at $7,500 on the findmall message board, and only $2-$3,000 here? Again, just curious?and congratulations.

HH, Jim
