Have a gold ringwhich I inherited from my gandmother. It is over 100 years old and has 4 small pearls and 4 small rubies. Costs a lot to have it valued. Anyone got any ideas pleased. Thanks

It depends a great deal on the weight and quality of the gold, the size and quality of the rubies, whether the pearls are artificial or natural etc.
Victorian rings are usually worth between £150 and £400.

Just enjoy it treetops. You will only be disappointed if you ask the value, as they will only give the value of the gold, since the stones sound quite small. Although, if you insist, it may be worth taking it to one of the "we will buy your jewellery" places. If you want a valuation for insurance purposes most jewellers will do this for a small fee.

I agree with Anngel, enjoy it for it's sentimental value, you may be disappointed at its monetary value. I wanted a solitaire diamond ring valuing but it would cost £50 for a valuation certificate, so I'll just put it on my house insurance.
Inherited a pearl and diamond ring, about 100 years old, valued at £2,500. Large pearl, small diamonds. Never hurts to know the value of your possessions, inherited or not.
Should have said, cost around £30 for valuation, I thought it was worth it.

We have a jewellers, part of a chain, which runs valuation days every so often, free of charge. Might be worth taking it in there if you can find out when next one is on.
Name of jewellers, Ernest Jones, sorry could not remember at the time.
