I recently inherited my grandmother's sapphire and gold ring (pictures attached)! My grandmother was engaged in 1936 in New York City. I've loved this ring since I first glimpsed it as a child, partly because I never knew my grandmother, who died before I was born, and partly because sapphire is my own birthstone.
I'm very excited to finally be its owner, but I'm not sure what to do next. I've looked into getting it appraised, but is that really worth it (the appraisal would cost $250+)? If I were to wear it, I'd have to get it resized -- is resizing too risky for a ring of this age?
If you have any insights about the ring based on my (not great) pictures, I would appreciate those, too! Thanks very much!!
