I just purchased a couple of scrap rings from a fellow. One is stamped 10k, Appears to have small sapphires and diamond or diamond chips and the band (very thin) is stamped 1887 I believe it to read,and brokecleanly.

Should I remove the stones and scrap the gold, or have the band repaired and reshaped and sell as an antique? Pretty little ring.

10k usually has lower grade stones.

Check what their getting on ebay for a similar ring to
get a idea on how much its worth as a antique.

You can always scrap it later.

Sorry about the quality, cheap camera through a loupe.







Looks like a makers mark maybe, I dunno.

Take the ring to a jeweler and find out what the stones are (real, fake, good quality, low quality, etc.)

I would get the ring repaired, an antique ring will sell for far more than its melt value.

I change with the times-
but like silver coins found in your change
I stay the same.

If you scrap the ring you most likely wont get anymore for the stones inside. In fact you might get less value becuase they person buying it has to account for the stone weight to factor the gold value.
