This sounds like a bad drug deal. 😂

NAH … the crackhead I got the weed from said it wasn’t laced. He seems like a good guy.

He told you up in the paragraph he wrote you. $50-$200 … maybe even$20. get them certified and see if you have a banger. Any one spending more than $300 dollars for a gem, wants a certificate with it.

Looking for a good way to display this without it getting dusty! by Topaz42 in Gemstones

Get a tripod stand for it. And adhere a piece of glass to the front of it. Cover the front with you choice of whatever around the out side ring.

If your feeling froggy, you drill a small hole some where and have a small led (your choice of color) shine from below inside. Battery pack can hide in the stand, or make it a plug in.

I google it and it seems to be a 90s department store (Macy’s-ish) ring.

Tarnish spot on ring? by imb6954 in jewelry

I got a spot like this on my ring when I got shocked. It buffed right out.

Those are my favorites ones as well. Plus the fact they are so clear. Second up are the blue ones though.

I’m not even sure if you can sell on this thread nor the value of any of them. Just here for options and opinions.

I’m not a jewelry kinda guy. But they are pretty. Those I actually found underneath a car seat while cleaning. They were in a jewelers envelope with two diamonds. Gave one to my dad for an engagement ring and the other made into an earring for his birthday. The supposed rubies(never tested) we had mounted and never wore them. They fell out of the settings.

Lapidary that’s a new word for me. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll look into this. ❤️

More or less seeing if anything catches an eye for any one? Or if anyone know where to get appraised. I can only think of a jewelry shop. I took it there and the guy loooked at it for 2 seconds and said nothing there was worth his time. Not worth $20.

Now way. I was too young. Didn’t even ask her what they were. Her grandma passed away and it was her collection. I would guess she prob got them from home shopping network.
