Red stones look like ruby's to me. If you dug these, NICE FINDS! If you didn't dig them, NICE RINGS!

Nice rings. I think they are all worth getting appraised myself. Provided those are real diamonds and not cz's. Rubies do glow, natural and lab grown.

I was lucky enough to dig these recently. Thanks

I have a diamond tester and used my wife’s ring as a reference and they tested good. I might get the small one appraised first and see what happens. The ruby ring doesn’t look quite right to me, the stone doesn’t have any shine to it. Are rubies supposed to be see thru? Thanks for your help.

Yeah I noticed that. The more transparent a ruby the higher in value usually. Though all lab created ones are virtually flawless. I thought they were garnets at first until I saw the uv photo. Since it's a dug ring, it could just be affected by environmental conditions or more than likely are just lower quality opaque natural rubies.

It is a toss up as to whether you would benefit more in sale price if the rings were appraised. Appraisals are not cheap but they can significantly effect the outcome of the price, especially if the Diamonds are very high quality. I agree that the Rubies are opaque natural Rubies and could benefit from being polished. Yes, they are somewhat lower quality but IMHO, they are about average quality for most rings since the highest quality Rubies are usually reserved for high quality, exceptional pieces.

cool finds Ive found a few found out that little diamonds are pretty much worthless. Those look to be a decent size good luck.
