<p>[QUOTE="kentworld, post: 5466157, member: 35"]My husband and his sister have decided to sell their mother's engagement ring. There are a couple of places in the area that we can sell to, but just asking a "what would you do" question. The ring was purchased here in Victoria, BC, Canada in 1953, so I expect it's either made here or in the US. No markings on the inside. My mother in law said that the diamond(s) were .7 carats. Now whether that's all the diamonds or just the central one, we don't know. She also said that the setting was platinum. The diamond setting might be platinum or white gold, but the band (the shank is really thin from wear) is yellow gold. Likely 14k but I don't know for sure. Sorry about the pix -- but hope you can see there is a centre stone flanked by 2 smaller ones which in turn are flanked by 2 small ones in a closed setting. Who buys this sort of thing? We think that there is an antique/vintage jewelery shop that might be fair as we've dealt with them before, but is there a better venue or type of dealer to sell to? Any advice is welcome![ATTACH=full]415784[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]415785[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]415786[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
