I have a 3 stone diamond ring in white gold I got back from my ex girlfriend and curious what to do with it. I got it from Jared in December for about $500 after tax and insurance. I can not return it there and do not have the reciept. I want cash for it so where are some good places to get rid of it? Should I get it appraised somewhere and get it in writing before selling it online? How do I prove what and where it came from to sell to someone? Thanks ---

The arm and a leg guy? And since december golds been pretty steady it might be worth more maybe. Or just goto some place that designs/makes jewlery and see if they might wanna buy it. ---

Ya I heard the gold buying places suck. LOL. I just am curious if I can get it verified by something so if I sell it online, I can prove it is what it is like the size and clarity. ---

gold buyers buy on material value… gold is $X per gram… 10k gold is not all gold, it’s only 33% gold so you only get the Value of gold x .333 x ounce or gram or whatever the fuck. for $500 you didnt get much of a ring. Teh actual value fo the 10k, which it must be at that price, is like $40 or something…and the diamonds are probably SI or lower… to be honest, you’re going to sit on the thing for a long ass time if you’re trying to get good money for it. i suggest you melt it down and reuse the gold / diamonds for something for yourself. ---

Ya nothing big. Its not an engagement ring or anything. I think it was like 400 + tax + insurance so if I make 300 back on it i would be amazed unless I some how can transfer the insurance that cleans and checks the diamons every 6 months and protects it if one is lost. ---

nhot your problem is it? get a cert if you don’t have one, but for most decent certifications, you’ll pay more than the stone is worth. ---

thats up to the buyer to figure out. Jewelry is ridiculously overpriced at retail, so resale sucks. Keep it for the next gf? lmao ---

You’re throwing in the towel with dating?not going to give another woman a ring? I think keeping it for the next gal would be the smartest thing to do if you’re not in desperate need of cash. Its like the gift that keeps on giving. ---

Well ever since I gave my ex this ring, the thing went down hill and just random shit popped up. This was the first and last ring I buy unless its a engagement which probably wont happen anytime in the next 10 years so I will just take anything i can get for it and blow it on something. ---

have you considered going back to where you got it for a copy of the receipt?
