Sell the Krugerands??

[Rogar]

You need to sell the diamonds to a different jeweler, Rogar. Old mine cuts are really big right now and no one in their right mind would cut one down to a more "modern" cut. Taylor Swift's engagement ring is an old mine cut, so that will make that still very, very popular.

About Us

I had them reset an old mine cut ruby from its original setting into a different setting and they did a very nice job.

That's great to know. I will research and shop around more for sure. Thanks! I watched the video. I have no use for diamonds in my life, but the jeweler's show case full of the brilliant modern diamonds were a little over the top to me compared to the old miner's cuts I have. I'm just a guy.

If it's at least a carat, it might be worth his time, but the market is the market. Go to 3 different jewelers and ask how much they will give for it.
They might not even buy used diamonds. For the widest exposure there are online place to sell jewelry and special sites for engagement rings but I don't get the impression he wants to spend that time. we can always get more money for our stuff if we invest our time in the marketing but is that money worth our time? Only Roger can tell.

If it is in a nice vintage setting, it might be more valuable keeping it in the setting. In that case someone who deals in estate jewelry would be a place to sell it. Or there might be estate jewelry sellers who will take it on consignment.

Thanks for the advice. Here near the big city there are a number of guys who promote buying estate jewelry and some yelp reports maybe. If it weren't some driving and time use, it could be a learning winter project. The man I talked with today actually suggested getting a formal appraisal and selling online to get the best price. That's beyond my pay grade.

I was executor of an estate a while back and used an online auction house. They had things like that. Coins, estate jewelry, sterling, vases, rugs, etc. It was an excellent way to promote things in spite of their cut. I don't think they deal with single items, but it was a good thing.

If Taylor Swift's ring is an Old Mine cut then her engagement event will propel this cut to high popularity. Of course, the marketers will take advantage of that and start cutting lab diamonds in that cut.

I would love an antique champagne or yellow diamond in that cut and in a yellow gold setting.

Ditto on the champagne diamonds, they are so beautiful!

This was a good article on the old cuts and the Taylor Swift popularity. I hope Taylor Swift doesn't get cold feet.

Your timing is good then since this style is suddenly very popular.

[Rogar]

Yes, outside of money issues, it's actually nice to know they will be appreciated and not cut down. Without Tybee, I might have been fleeced. I was wondering if the man I first talked with was not honest. I get a small newspaper of my little suburb, and he was named one of a couple businesses of the year. I'd like to think he was not aware of any recent Taylor Swift type popularities, but he should have given better advice.

Please let us know how much you get for the rings. I’m pretty sure your jeweler didn’t know about the sudden popularity of Old Mine Cuts and he was giving you general information about used jewelry which is still reasonably sound.
