ring  
QUESTION: Thanks, kay

Answer
OK Kay, great pic.....Yes your ring is 14kt yellow gold it weighs approx. 8-9 grams and the inside HE is the manufacturers hallmark, the ring is also comfort fit so the inside is slightly rounded...Scrap value for your ring today would be approx. 70-100.00 dollars US depending where you go to sell it. We will buy it from you based on the market value of gold the day we receive it and the exact weight. Brand New the ring would retail for 250-300.00
hope this helps you...
you can ship the ring and we will send you a check fed ex next day if you decide to sell, please enclose your phone number and address, we have been in business since 1979.
thanks
