Selling family jewelry

Hi All,

I need some for a close friend. He is in difficult
straights and needs to sell some jewelry. With some skepticism I
went to look at the pieces yesterday. I say that because usually when
I check out family jewelry for pals, it is mostly junque…artistic
junk junque lol. Not the case here. 4 excellent diamond rings.
Great quality, color and cut. One stone slightly damaged. Very clean
older diamonds ranging from 1ct to 2 cts. Neither the settings nor
the amount of gold is worth much.

Who or where would he, or I turn to to sell these rings for the
highest value? Those of you who are store owners can probably inform
the best I am guessing. I really wish I had the funds to take at
least one of these off of his hands. Really beautiful stones
including one completely clean large emerald cut. I want him to get
the best price.

Thanks for any help you might provide.
