Platinum and the Apocalypse

[Anonymous No.18255814]

I work at an airport and found this guy on the ground by the departures, figure some rich divorced whore got outta dodge.
Anyway I just got it appraised and it looks like I got about 5K worth of platinum and a 40K diamond, which wont hold any value as currency.
Do I hold onto it or sell it to a paranoid prepper?

or eternally burn in hell over earthly desires

Platinum is under $800 per ounce. The platinum in that ring weighs no more than 1/4 ounce. Even if there is a premium on platinum right now, no way is there 5k in it. How many carats is the stone?

meh no child of God deserves eternal interdimensional torture
but I still think OP should make an attempt to find the owner

[Anonymous No.18256022]

This. Maybe 6-7 grams of platinum at the most .
Looks like 2-3 kt solitaire.
Depending on quality of the diamond maybe $2k to $8k range.

Do the same thing you'd do when bitcoin was ATH. Sell that fucking piece of shit!

Also, regardless of appraisal, resale market for diamonds sucks because cartel with plenty of supply, and advertising that convinces women they don't want a "used" diamond. I would be surprised if you could readily get 1000-1500 for it, but who knows.

Would it be worth more as two smaller diamonds?

[Anonymous No.18256311]

>>18256283
Nope, try auctions if ever they open again. But diamonds are just hard to sell at a good price.

Imagine, as a woman, being so vain, that you consider the million year old rock that was dug out of the ground and encased in metal "used" if it was removed and encased in a different metal, and thus refuse to wear the ring. Just imagine

Sell it obviously, and buy some gold to hedge yourself and then some silver as speculation.

Well at least on wish. You can buy platnium rings by the bag full.

[Anonymous No.18256904]

Let me give you second appraisal of the platinum value. If that ring is platinum it looks to be about 0.25ozt. The price of platinum is now $730/ozt.
Anon, you have approx $182.50 worth of platinum (if it's plantinum). Not $5,000. Next time don't ask your little sister to appraise rings you steal.

[Anonymous No.18256997]

>>18255814
This appraisal is absolutely bonkers. Who appraised it? Unless it's a GIA certified 2ct VS2/G you don't have anything even on the same PLANET as 45k. If you get an offer for 4.5k you should take it all day.
>>18256254
This. The resale market for jewelry is absolutely pitiful for sellers. 1500 is probably reasonable - it depends totally on the center diamond. You should expect maybe $200 for the mounting alone.
>>18256283
No. A diamonds price increases exponentially with it's size. E.g. A 3 carat diamond is more than 3 times as rare as a 1 carat diamond.

are the ones I marked in red inclusions inside the stone or are they on the surface?

if its on the surface its probably a cubic zirconia stone, theres also what looks like abrasions (in blue) typical for this kind of stone

if not then probably moissanite, the stone also looks slightly yellow, hard to judge because its an emerald cut (can't see refraction properly)

[Anonymous No.18257509]

>>18257468
they are inside the stone. It's confirmed real.

[Anonymous No.18257523]

>>18255814
shouldve turned it into lost in found like a normal person.
Karma'll catch up

[Anonymous No.18257572]

you might want to try and find out if there is a microdot serial no on the stone before you go trying to sell it anywhere

[Anonymous No.18257627]

>>18257509
I doubt it but check its fire to be sure. moissanite is a really good imitation. If it passes then send it to a gemologist to get it certified, it will sell for significantly more when certified, well it will sell closer to market price, diamond resale is usually very bad

I'm planning on getting it certified.

True, even though 9/10 the diamond was harvested in insanely inhuman conditions, things like this are significant to older people who don't know any better. Return it anon, tis God's will.

damn that's actually a very ugly ring to be worth that much, what the fuck were they thinking

[Anonymous No.18258229]

It's hideous. I'm thinking of remelting it into a dude's ring. Some boomer might pick it up if I put enough gold into it.

Obviously an engagment ring, no one wears them, they only serve as a dowry.
Maybe someone proposed at the airport and got angry after hearing their love say "no" while still down on one knee and watching as the woman of his dreams turned around and ran off to the gate to disappear to another country

[Anonymous No.18258586]

It’s a much older ring. Lots of wear and a cut that’s pretty gross (emerald)

[Anonymous No.18258655]

Bring it over to the gold and silver PAwnshop. Talk to my guy Rick. He might give you some belly button lint and a used crackpipe for it. Like Rick Always says, you will never know what can walk in those doors.
