[QUOTE="GnometownHero, post: 4307995, member: 47828"] One of my lady friends was broke and I suggested she clean out her jewelery box. Sorted out gold earing backs, broken chains and clasp, old fashion rings, etc. This was back when gold was like $1600 oz. She made $975 just in scrap price. I think gold is up to over $2500 oz currently. So cleaning out drawers can be worth the time. My daughter has an over 8 carat tdw wedding ring set with platinum ring guard and wedding band that belonged to my late wife Julie's mother and grandmother. Center diamond was over 2ct, 4 side 1ct stones and over 2ct of small diamonds. Fancy chunk of platinum all in all. It isnt worth much unless she dissassembled and had all the big stones reworked to more modern cut as this ring was probably originally made 1925 era. It is not something she would ever wear but one day my grandaughter will get a wedding ring made and my grandsons will have a diamond to make wedding rings should they get married. My mom had a bunch of different gold coins with fancy bezel and quality chains. There is some serious money now in those with current gold prices. My girls have a bunch of real nice pearls and beautiful big opals. There are some natural rubies and emeralds, sapphires and spinels with their granny stash. [/QUOTE]
