<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 617446, member: 51&quot;]Please do what your heart tells you, but rings can be a bit of a hard sell and I think the offer could have been worse.&nbsp; (But I&#039;m not an opal or diamond expert...)</p><p><br /></p><p>I had purchased a group of drop dead fantastic rings a few decades back, paid to have them appraised by gemologist, all came in at over $2K appraisal per ring.&nbsp; Fantastic designs, three were 14K, two were 18K, gem stones and stunning settings. Former owner had money and wonderful taste, and rings were in a wearable size 7 1/2.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could not move those on Ebay individually for $400.&nbsp; Started much higher, moved down to $400 fixed listing.&nbsp; Sat unsold for months.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unlike a necklace, bracelet, or pin, with rings you are dealing with quarter sizes for a fit, and while you can resize a ring, there is a cost to the integrity of the piece, plus the $ cost of resizing.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I think it was a somewhat fair offer, but like you said, if you don&#039;t need the money and still enjoy it, by all means keep it.&nbsp; Amazing it was in a scrap pile. It is a very pretty setting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
