    This pawn shop has made the final clearance price on this 18k diamond Finnish ring from 1925 (U4 date code). The final price is $270 and gold weight is $190. The diamonds seem oddly cut no? Off round? The side diamonds are like pyramids... they stick up quite a bit and are pointy. what are your guy's thoughts on it? It fits me and I quite like it but I normally don't pay much over scrap for my gold rings.....

    Does the center stone look like it has been replaced?

    Now that you mention that about the center stone the bottom prong doesn't appear to be touching the stone? Maybe I'm wrong? The setting is definitely oval however....

    Might they be older than the date code of 1925?

    Of course, these cuts are older, lots of stones were unset fom older out of fashion jewellery to be re used!:)

    It's pretty but when you say-
    You don't sound convinced.
    If I'm not sure, I usually only buy If I know I can sell without making a loss then if I fall out of love with it I move it on. If the diamonds are valuable enough to offset the gold overpay then go for it!. You didn't really need me to say all that did you but I can't offer any advice on the quality of the diamonds!.

    I may indeed go back and get it! It's a nice chunky band with old diamonds. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything blatantly wrong with it! I should also note that on the inside shank there are initials inscribed with the date 1934

    A very nice ring, spart.
    There isn't.:)
    The centre stone looks like an old mine cut, with that slightly squarish shape.

    I got the ring! I made a mistake originally, I thought the U4 date code was 1925 but actually it is 1901!

    I would have gotten that ring, too.

    So it is.:) I didn't even check it before.
    1901 makes more sense with the diamond cuts.

    Yay! Now that you have it we need lots of photos!
    The center is Old Mine and the sides look like old table cuts...just guessing based on the photo. More research is needed to be sure

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Congratulations! You seem very pleased with the purchase. And, bonus that it was older than you originally thought.
