A 1780 diamond ring is worth only 10K?!!

Holy cow my 2003 1 ct. diamond ring cost 5,000k! I don'tget that, it's old souldn't it be worth more? Yikes what a dissapointment.

@raisetheflag88 Modern cut diamonds have flaws such as clouding, fissures and other inclusions as well, none of those factor in on price differences.

@MultiMeli123 you're aware you just said your 1ct diamond ring cost you 5 million dollars, yes? I would have sold you one for $4000.

@MultiMeli123

Unless there is a known history behind the item it's valued basically on the materials and quality of the item

@MultiMeli123 Jewelry store markup is several hundred percent.

the reason that ring is only worth 10k is the cut. Newer ones are better cut and bring out the beautiful colors that were not done 100 years ago.

he's an idiot...the ring is typical Dutch but made until about 1920. The ring is late Victorian to 1920. The Dutch still cut rose diamonds. He should shut up and pay attention to that miserable wife of his ha ha

@assman12354 yes your kindof right.... the king edward from the previuos century used a sheepgut condom that was found and tested for his dna from the cum stains on it, (yes they re-used there condoms) and fetched 3.8 million from the national condom museum of france. then they cloned him from the dna jurassic park style, but then because he was alive again it made the cum stained condom worthless so they killed him again to bring back value. and before you ask....... this is completely true lol

@Sweden80Here that would actualy reduce the price he he he he he only joking
