I have a ring from my late grandmother that is 10k stamped and I suspect it may have a genuine sapphire set in it. I would like to know how and where to assess for authentication and possibly sell it. The ring looks handmade with fine details around the stone, has a 4-corner setting, and the stone is quite large. The ring is in very good condition, with all claws intact and solid, and it is probably over 50 years old, maybe more.

I have a large, heavy white jade circular sculpture about 2 ft 1 inch in diameter and from approximately 1 inch to 2.5 inches thick, with a Chinese symbol carved on it meaning either blessing or wealth. I inherited it from my job where we do demolition, and my boss had collected it from properties over the years. How much is it worth?

Trying to find the value of a watercolor painting that is not an antique. The painting is by a 20th-century Bolivian artist, Mhire Barrientos, and measures approximately 16 inches across and 20 inches tall. I bought it on eBay because it reminded me of someone else's painting.

Can someone help me with a realistic market value for this book? It’s a first edition of 'The Modern Universal British Traveller' by J. Cooke, London. The dimensions are 14 3/4"T x 10"W. The book has some binding loss, wear, and repair.
