Ring Find Appraisal - Opal/Diamond

[Hunter101]

I'm so stoked! This ring that I found metal detecting on thursday was verbally appraised today...

The Opal is Black Opal from Australia. Black Opal is the most sought after variety of opal. Retail value would be $3000 in current condition with missing one diamond and having scuffs on the band.

To say the least, I am freaking out. And to think I was only worried about the diamonds...

Awesome -WTG
- but be advised from a guy that has found close to 1000 gold rings - big difference between retail and resale
what you would get for it
usually appraisal is for replacement - to buy another one new

And that’s why he gave me two offers. 1000$ right away in this condition with scuffs on the band and a diamond missing based on a verbal appraisal. If I repaired it and got a written he could see offering 2000 based on the current verbal appraisal.

Beautiful ring!!! I would keep it, but that’s me. I hate parting with my “finds”.��

You could get the ring restored by having the gold re-dipped to clear up the scratches. Small diamonds are fairly cheap as well or pull one from another find.. May make a nice present for the wife.
