I purchased these rings from an individual. They are marked 925 with a few that have a weird crown looking symbol on the inside of the band as well. All of the stones did not set the diamond tester off. The pearls I believe are freshwater. They do look pretty round and some have a very nice luster. Is it possible that a couple could be Tahitians? Also one is a golden color could it be a south sea ? The pearl beads are from 6 to 8 or 9 mm. 9 rings in total.
Are these pearl rings all freshwater or some of them Tahitian?

Number 3 ring has a crown on inside of the band. The crown has a cross on the top of it and what looks like a ribbon on the bottom.

They all look to me like freshwaters.
Thank you for looking at my pictures and your evaluation. I was thinking that they were all freshwater pearls but had hopes a couple might be Tahitian. With that being said and they are all fresh water pearls set in 925 sterling silver what would be your opinion on the value of rings. Would they average $20.00 each or would they bring more or less than that ?

In what venue? At a show, perhaps that much. But if you are planning to sell them on eBay, first do a search for what similar rings sold for recently. EBay is flooded with inexpensive jewelry and much of the difficulty is getting anyone to even look at your listings. And if other sellers' similar items are priced lower than yours, you may not make the sale.

There are some variables for selling them. It helps that they are 925 and not plated brass. Are they all the same size? Do any of them stack together and can be sold as a set? Also, consider your shipping costs.
I agree with all that has been said...I'll add it really will depend on where you are selling. Mikimoto on facebook is listed over $1,000...but according to eBay solds sells at around $600-700. I had a huge freshwater "Wilma Flintstone" pearl necklace that i thought I would love...because it looked close to South Seas. I hated the look on me! (and it was too tight.) I sold it as a "South Seas Dupe." I disclosed that it was freshwater is a number of places...I wanted people to know what they were buying...but since I had wanted it as a south seas dupe myself...I felt someone else might like it for that too! So the ones you think look like Duplicates (Dupes) can be sold like that...as long as people know what they are buying. You might get more for the Tahitian Dupes or South Seas Dupes...Will you get more that $20?...look at eBay solds or try facebook?
