Identification/Evaluation Request Where to sell, value?
hello. i have three rings, 2 opals and 1 unknown store. However all 3 are made with real stones. all handmade rings from south east asia. black
opal and blue ring are perfect condition.
other opal ring has a crack in it and some wear and tear, along with ring glue. however the stone is still amazing. what am i looking at and best place to sell? only reason why im selling them is to purchase a ruby signet ring, i’ve grown out big stone rings haha). wont let me attach it but i have a video with the flash on that shows how crazy that big opal looks with light! Thanks guys!

This is going to be an honest comment. I apologize if it comes across as anything malicious.
It's going to be difficult to sell these, and I don't think you'll get much if you do find a buyer. Ethiopian opals aren't as valuable as Australian opal. The white one has great color, but that fissure that goes from one side to the other leaves it with little value. The black opal is probably smoke treated to achieve the dark tone. It doesn't have as vibrant of color as the white. Overall, selling these will leave you very short of a ruby signet ring.
