Gems

Listed values of gems (assumed to be already cut) vary a lot. The final price depends on qualities such as carat weight, color, brightness, clarity, cut, where they are from, and were they treated (might enhance color but lowers the price). Costs were estimated by dividing modern dollar/euro cost by 35.

Jewelry

All jewelry is worth at least the weight in metal they were made of, and any jewels or gemstones included.

Other than the amount of precious metals, jewels, and gemstones, the quality of craftwork has a huge impact on cost. Items made by famous jewellers are the most valuable. Cost of possible enchantment will also be included in the value.

Remember: most jewelry is cheap! Deliberate fakes are also common.

Crowns: Real crowns made for monarchs are indeed expensive. From 1,000 GP to priceless. The Imperial State Crown would be worth about 1,630,000,000 GP.
Earrings: About 2 CP to 3,700 GP.
Necklaces: About 1 SP to 10,000 GP.
Bracelets: About 1 SP to 8,500 GP.
Brooches: About 1 to 6,000 GP.
Pendants: About 1 SP to 2,800 GP.
Rings: About 1 SP to 50,000 GP.
Tiaras: About 1 to 8,000 GP.
Sceptres: About 100 to 10 million GP.
