I have most finely cut stones in most colors as well as cuts. These stones have been old. Vintage to antique. Came from the relations in Germany who was the jeweler behind in the early 40’s. Would these stones be deliberate natural. we wish to sell these stones as well as need to find out the guideline for pricing.

They could be natural or they could be faux such as paste. You need to have them properly appraised either by a gem lab or a good jewler. You’ll find appropriate pricing guides online.

If they are real gems it doesn’t matter their age. If they are not real, they may still have some antique value. Take them to a GIA certified jeweler to find out. If they are not real, then take them to an antiques appraiser.
