Rare...been locked away since the 1800's. Daisy set 18k, unmarked, common in 1800's, has been acid tested. Took to 2 jewelers, one says center stone is approx. 75.pt due to it being a shallow diamond. The other jeweler says 1.00-1.25...both say approx. 1.00ct for the small diamonds. Both were amazed at the clarity and that the only thing that they could see was a chip in the side but set well because it is situated or place were the prong holds it, so it camaflouges well. So clarity is about VVS1, color, I-J and has blue floresence, the large stone is a strong blue. Size 7, main diamond measures approx 7mm x 6mm (slightly over) and 3mm for the little ones. NOTE: If you think that you see inclusions...they are just the reflection...there are none. Update...I just took ring to the jeweler (differerent one) ...anyway he said that that it is internally flawless due to it only having the chip. Also by calculation .91pts, and he he said that color was F-G. Since I do not have documents...I will sell it at 1400.00 huh.gif

A real appraisal would improve your chances of a sale considerably. The range of 0.75-1.25, F-J, VVS1 (note, it can’t be a VVS1 on the GIA scale if it has a chip) is huge. Backing it up with an undocumented statement by some unidentified people who call themselves jewelers is not the best in terms of credibility.

It would also help to set a price.

Best of luck with it.

Umm. Ok. Did you notice that my suggestions had nothing at all to do with changing the price?
