Please share thoughts on 3 vintage rings!

Cleaning out safe today!
Ring all the way to left is a white gold ( I think) cocktail ring with diamonds and red stones - not sure what kind. Very old ring from my grandmom. Ring in middle is yellow gold with sapphire and 3 little diamonds on each side. Final ring is also yellow gold. I bought it for myself about 30 years ago. It has a blue stone lighter than sapphire ( maybe aquamarine) and a purple stone - perhaps amethyst. Thinking of selling but I'd probably get chump change. [emoji20]. I have not worn any in 30 years! Thoughts?

Have it appraised in the jewellers and find out the exact name of the stoneas well....buyers need exact info about the ring usually....

Gosh I think they're all beautiful and definitely ones I would wear. Unusual and such vivid color. I definitely wouldn't sell.

I would not sell, not just because it's unlikely you'll get anything for them besides scrap, but also bec they're family items.

The red stones could be garnets. I agree with getting them appraised and keeping them.

I agree with Thingofbeauty that red stones of the first ring most likely garnets. The blue of the third probably topaz.
I would keep the first unchanged (maybe size it, if too small to wear as it is now) - it's a lovely right hand ring and has family history behind it.
The 3rd one - I would rhodium plate it. The design is great and white of the metal would pop the beautiful colours of the amethyst and the topaz.
The 2nd - I would reset it. Lovely sapphire, but I am not a fan of this classic setting.
Overall, though, I love all three rings and would not sell them. I agree with Ame.

I agree with these ideas 100%!!!

I think the lighter blue stone might be a blue topaz.

The red stones look to be Garnet, the third ring looks to be Amethyst & London Blue Topaz. Definitely take them to a jeweler & have them appraised. Is the interior marked with a gold stamp? Your jeweler can test the stones & tell you what they are and give you an approximate worth. They're beautiful. I would hang on to them especially if they've been in your family.

They are stunning! I agree, get them appraised and keep them!!!

 

[Squids]

I would definitely get them appraised and either keep them or pass them on to a younger relative as a family heirloom piece.
