dumb question, but...

So I've come across a bit of scrap jewelry - old rings. I can figure out what to do with the gold - save a bunch, send to a refiner, trade, wear around my bedroom :oops: , etc. But what about the diamonds that are in there? Would it be best to visit a jeweler? Pluck the diamonds to save and move on with the gold? Anyone here have advice?

I use ARA in Dallas, they refine the gold and you can have it back or pool it to sell later or sell upon completion , they also have a diamond buyer come in once a week and will make a bid on your stones.
No, I do not work for them, I have been a satisfied customer for years. PM if you need more info.

Yeah some older stuff that my wife accumulated along the way, so nothing invested... at least not be me! :lol:

Find a lapidary club or check a lapidary magazine. See if anyone there wants the rocks.

My wife has 2 cats, and I am willing to exchange the cats for gold.
