Your ring's appraised value is *approximate* $4200.00, based on the info you posted in your first post. Keep in mind this is "insurance replacement value" not resale value. Resale is typically 1/3 of the insurance value....in an auction environment (like Maynards). Your best bet to get most amount of cash for it is via Craigslist in the jewelry section.

Scrap value of the gold would net you about $100.00 (based on about 4 grams of gold). That's using scrap prices off the vancouvergold.ca website, a local gold buyer. Not sure what they'd offer you for the diamonds but their website says that they buy diamonds.

If you want to do the earrings thing, it'll probably set you back about $225 for the earring settings, butterflies backs (both 14Kt white gold) and labour to set the stones. I'd imagine the stones would be 0.30ct each, total weight of 0.60ct.

At the end of the day, if you sell it as a piece of jewelry, it's only worth what your willing to sell it for and what the buyer is willing to pay for it.

Good luck man.
