Jewelers Assessment on the Big Chunk of Ice!

[Cool Hand Fluke]

Over the July 4th weekend I dug one of my best gold rings ever. Today I took it down to professional accredited jeweler and had him give his assessment on the diamond.

This is what he said:

Main stone Clarity is a SI-1, which is very good
Total weight of diamonds in 14K ring is about 1 karat
Center main stone weight is 3/4 karat
Color is I-J on main stone
Diamond cut is oval
Retail Value is about $4,200.00 !

So keep digging those nickel readings. I've discovered the ratio of gold rings versus nickels is about 1 gold ring for every 2,000 nickels. Most gold rings are in the foil/pull-tab range.

Maybe the woman who lost the ring had too much wine to drink? LOL! Congrats on the find!

How great is that! Makes digging all those pull tabs and nickels suddenly seem worth it.
