Miner Cut Diamond Rings

by Lonna

I have a ring that belonged to my Mother with 5 diamonds in it that would be around .25 - .30 carts each set in a gold band that she designed herself.

I recently took it into a local jewellry store because I recalled her telling me the diamonds were very old. I was told that they are what is called old miners cut.

What I was wondering is if these are a very valuable & what the estimated price of the ring would be.
