Gold Ring Appraisal After Resizing Question:

Hello, My spouse had a ring made for me, without knowing my ring size, and had it made a size 7.

The appraisal was done at that time and the ring weighed 6.7 grams. I had to have it resized down to a size 5.5, it then weighed 6.18 grams.

Price: $22.04

I recently had to have it resized up to a size 6.5 and it still weighs 6.18 grams.

This was all done at the original place of purchase.

This last resize is a bad job as there is a divot and you can see where it was resized, also an emerald has been chipped.

It is a gold band that is (was) fairly thick all the way around with stones only on the top.

How does the change in weight affect my original appraisal if I were to resell the ring?

I’m quite disheartened by the bad resize job and no change in gold weight, is that normal?

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. … Continue reading Ring Appraisal After Resizing...

Price: $7.74

My boyfriend gave me a ring that doesn’t have an engraving and I’m sure it’s fake but he insisted that it’s real.

Or that he was tricked into buying what he thought was real.

But he bought it at a very reputable place.… Continue reading Was My Boyfriend Tricked?...
