Interesting that it appraised that high. What do you mean "around" though. Usually an appraisal has an actual value, not "about" unless someone has simply said, "oh, that's worth about $500" which really isn't an appraisal, hence.. the ask. Please don't take that the wrong way, either, as I've walked into some high end jewelry shops and have seen fairly plain banded silver rings run as high as $1100. I just shook my head in wonder. People DO have money to burn, but usually there's a reason for such a high price. Custom is the primary one, but the detail on this, suggests it was a mold.
It's a gorgeously detailed ring. In the video, some of the details really pop. A side from the amazing detail, what makes it so special? Is there a hot brand associated with it or something?
That's one for the treasure box, though, for sure, if you can get it cleaned up! Problem with aftermarket silver, even of this size, is that you can't usually get more than $50-$60 at a retail shop (them selling).
Just a gorgeous ring, though. Fantastic!
