I recently ended my engagement and now I ring that needs a home. I considered keeping it for the next 'one' but every female friend I spoke to said that no girl wants a regifted ring. There is no rush to sell the ring so I was thinking of selling it on consignment at a jewellery store. Anyone know of a good store where I can do this?

The ring is a 1.01ct solitaire diamond in a PLAT-950 platinum classic Tiffany setting. The diamond comes with a GIA certificate.
 
Post a picture of it please and if you had to sell, for how much would you?
 
I thought that if the guy breaks off the engagement, then the chick can keep the ring. But if the chick breaks it off, then she has to give the ring back?!

Anyway, I'd say keep the ring, and melt it down and redesign at a later stage when you find the right girl. Stones are stones, no point in taking a financial hit with it and trying to sell it off quick.
 
This is not the ring but it looks like this. http://www.danielprince.co.uk/images/Tiffany Rings/LG_DSCF3755.jpg

PM me and I can email pics of the ring and the GIA certificate. I don't feel comfortable talking about price but it won't be cheap. Remember that GIA is the most stringent grading company and any diamond without it would be worth at least 25% less. Google GIA and you will see
 
Before we got engaged I made it clear that if we broke up before the marriage the ring would be returned and she agreed.

I don't see the point in melting the platinum because I would honestly want to make the exact same ring again if I redid it. I also am not interested in selling it off quickly because I really don't need the money so I will keep it instead of being low balled
 
If you do not mind not getting the money back. Sell it. Jewelery you pay for the craft.

Rather keep it.

I agree that is very pretty.

Thanks Mila. The thing is that almost every girl I spoke to said that it is not cool to regive a ring to another so keeping it becomes pointless if I could never use it again

I see your point maybe your mother or sister or someone would like to melt it. Or make a pair of earings? pendant?

I'm trying to think what I did, i knew i found .
But I'm weird things like that does not bother me. I mean it is worth alot of money and she will know about the engagement in anycase.
I sometimes do not get girls heads:wtf:.. :D



But that is just me. :o
 
I asked him. HE said I asked if his mother would like a pair of earings :p

I also know diamonds are a girls best friend and as long as you buy the new girl a bigger one she would probably not mind melting that one down someday.

But that is just me.

What a red herring. the point of getting engaged is because...

well i was about to say something worth saying but I just dont care anyways :D
 
If I paid loads of money for a ring I would also wanted it back.
Why does she want it? To pawn? To hold and cry over it at night?
Screw that.

You going to leave the car and the playstation too?
 
Keep it and have the stone reset later. I'm having a ring designed at a jeweller right now so I've got a good idea what it cost. Looking at the diamond price index, it seems to be a good investment.

Because i loved her but love doesn't mean that you give someone tens of thousands of rands when you break up. That is what marriage is for

If you love someone you should never think of the possibility of that happening.

Since half of all marriages fail it would be stupid not to consider the possibility. As Kanye said: We want pre-nup... I certainly would not get married without one of those either

pooky. pooky pooky.

I wish I still saw the world through eyes like those.

Keep it, do not loose it, just do not let the girls mess with you.
 
Right now I am leaning towards keeping it and giving it to my future son if he ever wants to get engaged
