    Quite possibly. I'd take them to a real appraiser and get a real
    written report. Get a referral from International Society of
    Appraiser or American Society of Appraisers. 

    Your only choice for a "free" appraisal is an auction estimate if
    the customer takes them to an auction house to sell there. If you
    have an auction house near you. 

    If you are right, and your customer gets more money for her rings,
    she will thank you. And perhaps you can save a a bit of jewelry
    history.
