My dad was trained as a watchmaker in Germany . He sat down with a jeweler and inspected many diamonds under a eye loop to come up with the diamonds in the ring .

Good luck. I suspect selling as a private seller or selling to someone that's going to resell is going to get you 25-40% of a current appraisal value.
