Question

Ring found in burn pil  


Burn pile ring  
I found a ring in a burn pile and was wondering if it was worth any thing.. I have a pic of ring taken moments after finding it. It has not been cleaned yet.

Answer
Hi Dawna,

Looks like a pretty ring but if it is not stamped with the Karat weight of the metal (like 14K)then it is most likely costume jewelry. Best thing to do is take it to a Gemologist and ask if it is worth appraising. Any gemologist worth his salt will tell you if it is worth anything.
