What's the best way to find out the value of diamond rings that I have and if I am inclined, where is the best, and safest place to sell them ?
They are older pieces . . how do I know if they are antique/estate.

well if these pieces of jewelry are from your granny or elder people from your family than yes there old ,call around to jewelry shops in your area and ask if they do appraisal if not ask if they ever bring in an independent jewelry appraiser a lot of stores do this and the cost is quite inexpensive make an appointment and get the papers so that you can prove to who ever you sell the items too sometimes the appraiser him/herself if the piece is nice or antique might like to purchase the items from you or the store you went to do not sell these items on line or to pawn shops you could always put an add in the paper but do not let buyer come to your house (these are dangerous time I'm sure you know this though) meet with them somewhere local restaurant etc with someone or go to an antique dealer of jewelry but if you don't get them appraised and go to a dealer who knows what there talking about and you don't the most likely scenario is you'll get bent over and not in a good way ,appraisals are usually around 10 to 30 dollars an item good luck if there really worth something or have family history it could be better to keep them so give it serious thought before you part with them

Go to the nearest jewelry store and tell them what you are wanting to do. They should be able to help you. If they have a jeweler on hand, that would be even more helpful.
