How much can i expect at a pawn shop for my solitaire, gold, diamond ring?
I have a 14 karat gold diamond ring. The diamond is real, i've had i checked, but the ring is meaningless to me. I could really use the cash. Does anyone have anny idea how much i could get for it in a pawn shop? The diamond is 1 karat, maybe a little more.

The value of the diamond will depend on the quality of it. If you have a certificate then it will state the color, clarity, polish, cut, etc. If you don't have a certificate you can always ask the jeweler where you bought it from. If you can't then you can take it to a jeweler and ask them to appraise for you. Some jewelers may charge for this service so you should ask first. Once you know the quality then you can get an idea on the retail value of it.
Pawn shops known to offer one tenth of the actual value so be careful before you go there. Sometimes the best way to cash your jewelry is to sell it to your friends or co-workers or even on eBay.
Gold value will depend on the weight per gram or pennyweight. Usually a 14K ring will worth about $5 to $10 a gram at a pawn shop.

depends on the quality of the diamond and ring. A Pawnshop is only ever going to pay you a small amount as they want to make money reselling your ring. If you want to get more, try and sell it to a private person via craigslist, ebay, rubylane or your local papers.
