Rough ring valuation.

[Ruskie]

On behalf of my parents who are getting conflicting advise from dealers about a diamond ring. I know there are some experts on here so I'm looking for a rough ball park figure.

Details are - Solitaire, Rose Cut, 2.05 Carat set in 18c Gold. Certificate of authenticity/carat. Purchased in 1995. Told there are two small chips and two flaws not visible to the naked eye.

I fully appreciate it difficult to value something like this without seeing it but I'm looking for a rough ball park figure to make sure they aren't getting ripped off.

Thanks.

Yes it's old cut. 2 small inclusions and 2 small chips.

Top offer so far is £2600.

It's certificated at 2.05 carats and insured for £6700.

Thanks for the help. It does have the clarity etc on the certificate but I don't have access to it at the moment. Think they paid £2500 in 1995 so they are happy with getting around that price plus they have had 20 years pleasure of wearing it.

Insurance Valuations aren't worth the paper they're written on when it comes to market resell value.

What point do they serve then?

Pre recession then! Highly inaccurate as the price of diamonds has increased in the same way gold has.

Might be worth having it reassessed then!
