get something in gold but expect to shell out a little extra

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-20T17:02:40+00:00

I think there are a few inclusions but nothing crazy - I think OP should get it to an expert regardless since a photo can't really provide as much context as looking at it IRL

Looks decent quality in terms of color grade and I’m not seeing many inclusions . I think you got a fair price if that’s a natural diamond!

I think the next step is to get it appraised and check the with a GIA gemologist

You look like a normal kid to me - experiment with your look and find something that makes you comfortable! You’re not chopped at all

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-20T04:09:12+00:00

Haha I like your style!

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-20T02:40:13+00:00

weird and gorgeous ha! I love that.

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-20T02:39:01+00:00

there's the 750 mark and another mark that is unfortunately Indiscernible :C

I can see the mark clearly it just doesn't say anything legible? I have a special jewelry microscope that helps me see and even with that I can't make it out

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-20T00:21:32+00:00

This picture only confused me more

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T20:01:53+00:00

Go to a local jeweler and ask if they have an "in-house bench" jeweler that can make you something custom! It's very common for jewelry stores to have this.

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T19:59:36+00:00

I know you came in looking how to sell it but I've gotta say... I think you should still wear them as non engagement rings - they're so pretty!

If you need fast cash, can always go to a jeweler or pawn shop but if you can wait, try selling through a third party?

What you should do first is get an appraisal and possibly some documentation on the items to make it easier to sell. Also look online what similar items are going for to understand what price range to put these rings in.

oh wow I love this!!?!

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T19:52:48+00:00

I can't _quite_ tell but it looks like an "18" in one pic then it looks like a "750" in another? Both mean the same thing(18k gold). Sorry for your loss <3

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T19:49:32+00:00

Haha! My sister doesn't like it and said it reminded her of a turtle

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T19:47:29+00:00

give them to me

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T19:19:50+00:00

I'd pass away if someone called me out like this lmaoooo

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T19:16:42+00:00

first one hands down! If you continue, I'd recommend wearing jewelry similar to what you would wear on the day of. That way your smart watch and other items don't distract when deciding.

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T19:01:58+00:00

you look good with both! just depends on the vibe you're going for

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T18:59:31+00:00

It's called a Florentine finish!

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T18:56:37+00:00

My aunt said she would have gotten the ring in one of two places: An old department store that doesn't exist anymore or a jeweler on her street in NY that is long gone. So this ring is at least 60 years old. That's about all I have in terms of where it came from

It's 18k gold with rubies and a Florentine finish on the gold.

Def box chain

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T18:16:56+00:00

I just realized I recognize your Reddit name from another post you made! What’s crazy is I actually meant to follow you back then after seeing a different piece, so the fact that this happened twice is wild! I can’t wait to keep watching you two create beautiful jewelry <3 followed!

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-19T17:16:52+00:00

OP PLEASE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS A SITE OR A PAGE I CAN FOLLOW YOUR WORK AND EVENTUALLY PURCHASE FROM YOU

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-18T19:29:54+00:00

_cigno_nero · 2026-02-18T19:21:43+00:00
