I would like to know how much this ring would be worth. It is a silver ring with 1/10 carat diamond total weight and the amethyst is 7/8 carat. The amethyst is a light purple.
Hello Keziah,
It is difficult to say exactly how much a ring like that would be worth. Much of the value would depend on the workmanship of the ring, if the silver is sterling silver – plus the cut and clarity characteristics of the amethyst and the diamonds. Off hand, I would say under $100 dollars – but again, it will depend on the factors that I mentioned.
Amethyst is one of the most affordable gemstones, and the value of amethyst is highly dependent on gemstone quality. Darker purple amethysts are valued higher than the lighter purple varieties, and any flaws in the gemstones – either an inner inclusion or an outside blemish – can have a dramatic effect on value. Custom cut amethyst gemstones are also more highly valued than machine cut gemstones.
The diamonds themselves do not add much value to the ring, because of their size. And as with the amethyst gemstone in the ring, any inclusions or blemishes could further reduce their value.
Silver bands are also quite affordable, and most of the value of silver bands too relies on the workmanship of the ring. Because this band is quite simple, the value of the band will be very modest.
I hope this helps, and do write back again if you have additional questions –
