Hi guys,

I am after some second eyes on this appraisal for this ring I found on marketplace. I am wanting to pick up today for 300 AUD as advertised.

The thing that is stumping me is the appraisal, it states 8 stones with a total weight of .1, but i only see 2 diamonds.

The appraisal also doesn't comment on the ring size, which is usually included.

I've looked up who the appraiser is, and she's a real person, I am just second guessing myself.

Edit: thank you all for your responses. I've decided not to go ahead with the purchase. I am glad I asked for thoughts and opinions 😌

I honor of the 4th of July. I am wearing blue and red stones today. Pendant is a blue lapis with a small diamond. Will take a pic later and post.

Today's ring is one I inherited from my mother many moons ago. I had the center stone ,which was a scratched-up Peridot, replaced in the early 70s with this beautiful Garnet.

The stone is beautiful. But, the detail work on the setting is what is so interesting. The flowers are pink gold and the leaves are green gold. The rest is yellow gold.

What do you guys think? Is that stone worth more than I paid in 1970? Thinking about whether I should insure it.

Thanks!

I did a little Gemini. It said that this is quite rare, bought this star ruby. I noticed it from pictures of the seller but she said that it probably is because of the different light sources. I quickly checked when I got it. It does have 2 stars.

Thoughts on these turquoise cabs? They were glued on a stainless steel hat band but some were falling off so I decided to remove them all.

Obtained at an AZ estate sale with some mid century navajo jewelry, so sleeping beauty seems possible it not likely given the appearance. Each is 8mm x 6mm and approximately 1 ctw. Total ctw for the 52 stones is 55 ct.

I have 7 more bands that are poorly glued together and trying to decide if its worth removing them all to sell as cabs.

Is this a sapphire, aquamarine or some other stone?

I bought this at an auction. Just wondering if this is a white or fire opal or something else? Wondering if I overpaid. It's set in 14k gold with real diamonds. Ring weighs 4.8 grams and the stone is 1/4 by 1/3rd inches big. Im no opal expert so curious to hear thoughts on it. I paid $525 for the ring. Are stand alone opals like this expensive?

Hello! Could someone help with finding out if these gemstones could be real or if they are fake gemstones? They look pretty nice, But I can't tell if they are real or not😅

Zambia,1,75carats.On the certificate it says it is green, but under direct light it sometimes looks very blue. It’s neither very dark nor very light, but what do you think about its quality?

There is a certification of authenticity but it only said made with real Austrian crystals. The big blue gem is almost completely see through and there's a small diamond/moissanite gem on the upper leaf as well as smaller white gems on the others. Any ideas?
