UPDATE i JUST PAID FOR MY DETECTOR !!!

[FloridaBill]

And enough left over to pay for another !

The wife and I went to the mall today and although I didn't get a written appraisal we did go into three different jewelry stores. It is a real blue sapphire 14 k and although I thought it was a mans ring they are saying woman's. Maybe that's why I can't get it off of my wife's finger since I brought it home.

Now to the good news the average from all three stores we went into came out to a value between $1,800.00 and $2,200.00! I am a happy camper....

You have to love this hobby. It's the only one that you can actually make money in and recover your expenses.

I know I have paid for mine a few times over too.

great looking ring, where can you sell it? I've been trying to unload a 1/3 karat diamond with 16 small ones in 14K for the last 6 months, I've been offered 35.00 from a jeweler and 55.00 from a pawn shop, I just don't have the time to ebay or sit around waitin for someone from craigslist to call.

6 mo. huh. Had you put it on Ebay, it would have long since been sold. If you can wait 6 mo., why can't you wait a week?? The pawn shop offer is about a third of what they would ask for it. You can get it appraised and then start the bidding at 1/3 to 1/2 of the appraised value.
