Gold Finds 6/11 Need Opinion

[jason4kstate]

Found around 27 g of gold between Thurs and Sat. I spent around $150 for everything. It's all 14K. The cocktail ring has a large piece of smoky topaz or quartz. I don't know which it is. I spent $100 on it. Do you think I overpaid? The channel ring has .85 of diamonds. Thanks for looking!

Nice! Love all 3 rings. Can you imagine if you walked into a jewelry store to purchase all that jewelry, how much it would all cost! I would keep the 3 rings and put the rest in my gold scrap pile. I think you did great on your purchase!

great buy on all the gold. I agree with mb, keep the rings scrap the rest. the diamond band is awesome and the stones look clean

Nice score.

So far we are all in agreement. Keep the rings and scrap the rest. Probably would take too long with too little profit to sell the rest. You did great on this haul. Price those rings now. I used to buy and sell jewelry at our antique shop, but that was 15-20 years ago. You would have made out like a bandit then too. Just don't know current prices.

I wouldn't scrap the necklaces. The 1 is broken but if the other 2 are good you can get more
Then scrap.. Does the pearl pendant have any other makings? And what is the stone on the J style earrings? Even the pearl studs based on the mm size you should get at least $25 or more. Honestly, id sell it all but the broke necklace.

why do I never see such things at rummages around here?

Actually all of the necklaces are intact. That one is just unclasped. The stone in the J style earrings is either CZ or white topaz. The pearl necklace is marked SB 14K. From what I've found online it is Etruscan style. The pearl studs are really nice. They are unmarked but my jeweler said they were 14K.

I scrap nothing unless it is broken. I've always been able to get more than melt after fees on ebay. Necklaces you can get 150% to 250% above melt, no problem.

I don't think you overpaid for the cocktail ring. The gold in the ring itself is probably a couple grams.
