Grandmothers Wedding Ring 2 carat platinum Question: I was burglarized in 2006 and my grandmothers ring was stolen that was handed down to me.

Platinum by Cartier: Triumphs of the Jewelers’ Art

Price: $63.00 USD

Now I am trying to determine the fair market value to write it off on my taxes.

The only thing that I know about it that it was purchased back in the late 1930’s and it was 2 carats total and platinum.

So the IRS is asking fair market value and I don’t have an appraisal to use.

Is there a way to give an estimation of what the ring fair market value is so I can state that on my taxes?
