I realize that I'll never get its full value. It's a very fiery opal, which I've kept well oiled, and the setting is yellow gold.
The terms of inheritance included:
1) I never wear it ( the superstition) and
2) a list of people to whom I'm not to give it.
What would you suggest? Ebay? Craig's List? If you have any suggestions, please help out a sister, ADPi or Panhellenic!
PS: Now that I have my Alpha Delta Pi pin collection mostly in one place, I may be selling some of the duplicates, too.

You will never get the real value of it on Ebay and you never know who you are meeting with from Craig's list. I would suggest taking it to a reputable jeweler (or a couple) and asking them to appraise it again and if they would consider buying it from you or selling it at an upcoming estate auction. In my area, there are several companies that would consign it for you at auction.
