UPDATE $1800!!!!! Finally I found a ring and it's a beauty

My wife, son, and I headed to the beach over the weekend. Night time arrived Sunday and I tried a spot near the hotel. I decided I would try searching a small area of the beach really well rather than just pick an area and pass through it. I mostly try searching the waterline but this time was different, I decided I would try the dry sand also. To make a long story short I found this baby near a trail of pull tabs about 8 inches down. I realized it wasn't another coin by the sound it made swirling around in the scoop. In the moon light I could see it was a large ring, but figured it was a child's fantasy ring. I decided to pull out the flashlight and I started to get weak in my knees with the sight of gold. Afther checking the area to see if there was anything else, I headed back to the hotel (almost running).

I haven't found out yet what the green stone is but as soon as I find out I will post it. There are 13 nice size diamonds around the green stone, the ring itself is heavy, 14k.

I guess I finally paid for my Excalibur.....OH YEAH!!!!!!!

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Narthoniel, the ring I still protect like you wouldn't believe. It stays most of its time in the safety deposit box at the bank. I loan it to my wife when she wants to put it on for special occasions, of which my eyes stay glued to her hand to make sure it doesn't move.

There are some beauties to be found out there, I just can't figure why someone would take them to the beach....oh well their loss our gain :thumbsup:

Re: Are u sure it is real?

Not to put down a find but I found one Identical that was a fake. I do not see prongs holding the diamonds in on all sides. Nor are there enough prongs for such a large center stone. Are you for sure it is the real deal? It appears to be one of those 18kt HGE that scare all of us for a minute.

Re: Finally I found a ring and it's a beauty UPDATE!!!!!!

To answer the question:

JP said:
I just got back from the jewelry shop.

3.2 carat Peridot
65 points in diamonds
14kt setting

The guy told me the retail value is around $1800.00.

I left it on consignment.

I know I am happy.....

Thanks all that have left messages here. Keep hunting there are many more out there to be found.

There are 3 prongs holding each diamond, if there were more I don't think we could see the diamonds.... :laughing9:

Thanks Tank. I still haven't found anything close to that one. Maybe this summer.....

To this day it makes me wonder why someone would wear something like that to the beach.

You will regret selling that ring.
It is your first gold and if you keep hunting there will be many more.
But there will never be another first.
Make it into a heirloom, give it to your wife, mother, or pass it on to your kids.
Its value as a memory is priceless.

Thanks Willee, I know what you mean. I couldn't part with it. My wife uses it sometimes when I loan it to her ;D. I had it re-sized for her. It looks pretty in the pictures but in person it is breath taking.

He had it appraised guy, by a jeweler. I think he would have known the difference. Sheese.
