Paphos Life

Any recommendations please as to where to sell a good quality Gold Solitaire ring here in Paphos, or would it be better to sell back in the UK.....

Go to Aphrodite's Jewellery in Makarios Street and just ask.

Go to a few, that way you will get an idea on whos giving you a fair price and whos taking the P

That's interesting, Flossie! In UK, a jeweller would probably only offer scrap value for the gold, and £0 for the artistic content...

Bearing in mind that most gold rings in UK are the hard-wearing 9 carat variety, if you took such a hall-marked ring to Cyprus for valuation, the jeweller would probably shrug their shoulders, as their gold starts at 14 carat and higher.

Does a gold solitaire ring mean that there's a real diamond embedded in it? If so, there may be some added value methinks...

Years ago, I bought my dear wife a £300 9 carat heavy wrist bangle for her birthday in UK high street. In Limassol 1998, a jeweller said it was worth CY£50

I think the safest way would be to get a valuation first without mentioning you wish to sell.

I’ve always found Maria’s jewellery in Kitma to be helpful.
