I had contacted The Diamond Lining, Washington Diamond, Diamonds2Cash... I was offered in a range from $1000-4600. I don't know about you but 3600.00 can go a long way with me. I decided to sell my Diamond to Washington Diamond, they beat the runner up by 30%. and made the transaction so easy and I was out the door in 25 minutes with check in hand.

Is the 14-k-585 also stamped inside the shank? This is the US type stamp indicating 14 Karat gold. The 585 indicates 58.3 % gold content. (The 58.3 is rounded off to 585). If you have a point and shoot camera with a macro lense you should be able to get a picture of the markings and send to me and I will try to determine what the markings are. Hope this helps, Jim Hi Nancy,

I really don't know what the 6 is for. Normally the trademark is beside the fineness mark. Example: NVC 14K--- 18K. If you are not located in the US then the marks could be a Hallmark. The US does not have hallmarks, just trademarks. Hope this helps, Jim Hi Ann,
