I was engaged like two or three years ago and it didnt work out. I have been sitting on thousands of dollars worth of platinum and diamond engagement ring.
Does anybody know any way to get a decent amount of it back, usually diamonds go up in value 10% every year or so i am told. The best way would probably get somebody to break the diamond up from the setting and sell them individually.
Any suggestions guys, I don’t need the money, I was just looking through some old stuff sorting stuff and found the paperwork on it so it reminded me of it.

I forget the TV show but they did an episode about giving an engagement ring to one girl, then another who turned out to be his wife. and she was pissed when she found out years later.

If you bought it from one of the big chain jewelry sotres you could probably take it back there and get credit toward something else. Of course I think they usually make you buy something more expensive but you could at least get something that is not connected to something negative.

personally, knowing the girl that he ALMOST got married to… I’d keep it on a chain around my chest to remind me on a constant basis how lucky he is not to be married to her.

it’s from bluenile, just looked on bluenile the same ring now would be something like 5100.
The exact same setting now is $1500, I need to find a jeweler that will split it up and sell the diamond loose and the setting separate.

I can give you the name of a forum where you can try to sell the ring, or even the setting and diamond seperate. Let me find the forum and I will post it here. Splitting it up may not get you more money as apposed to selling it as is.

[http://www.diamond.info/forum/](http://www.diamond.info/forum/)
You could post it there, under the jewelry classified section. You may want to have the ring appraised and get a report of it to show potential buyers, this will give you a better idea of what it is worth. Also, if it’s a certified diamond you can show people the lab report that came with the diamond when you bought it.
