There is no shortage of liars, thieves and crooks. Perhaps, a place to start would be to get an appraisal for insurance purposes.
You do not want to state you are selling. An insurance appraisal on jewelry is roughly twice what you could buy it for. Obviously,
a jeweler must subtract his profit from what you could buy it for.

NO I am not a jeweler or do I have an interest in buying it-whatever IT is.
