You should give the ring back to your ex. It’s the classy thing to do.

Yes, you should sell it to a pawnshop.
December 23, 2007
at any local jewlery store…or go and have it appraised…

The best place to sell it for the most money is ebay. If you are broke and can’t pay to sell it and don’t mind taking less than try craigs below

You are supposed to give the ring back if you break up.
If your ex doesn’t mind you keeping it, you can go and get it appraised that way you have some sort of proof of what it’s worth.

you can sell it on ebay. i would have it appraised so you have some paperwork to back up that it’s flawless. are you sure your ex-fiance doesn’t want it back? best wishes

give it back. unless he claims its a gift, then i would keep it in a safe place for memories (good or bad, once upon a time you were happy)
January 11, 2008
dont know but just dont give it back to him.
January 12, 2008
OR….
you could do whats proper and return it.

Do you know which jeweler it came from? You could call there and ask if they would have copies of the paperwork. Some family owned jewelrs will also sell your jewelry on consignment. That’s how I got rid of my 1 carat princess cut platinum band engagement ring, and I got a good amount of money for it. I wouldn’t try to sell it on eBay…you will likely not get anywhere near what it’s worth. Make sure you do something really nice for yourself with the $$!!!

You should return it.

okay techincally if you broke the engament you have to give it back to him legally. If he broke it up you can keep it and sell it. You can go to a pwasn shop but you wont get as much money as it is worth. If you sell it on ebay you have to pay alittle bit to put on auction and then you can make it back but you should get the paper work from your ex unless he wants to buy back from you. I had a friend buy his wife’s engagement ring from a person who was selling a ring at work and he baught it there so there are some option.

Depending on the circumstances, the only reason you would not give it back is if he cheated on you. If that’s the case then by all means sell it, otherwise you should give it back, or at least offer to.

I sold mine, I went to different jewlery stores, pawnshops, and checked ebay. I told my friends and family I was selling it. Finaly I got the best bidder, which turned out more money than at any of those places =)

Ebay , Craigslist, Pawn shop or your local news paper would be a good way to sell your ring. I hope this helps! Good Luck ![]()

Well, first, the proper thing to do is to give back the ring to your ex-fiance.
However, if you decide to sell the ring, to get top dollar for it, you will need an appraisal first. You can go to your local jeweler for an appraisal–should cost you about $30-50 dollars, but a ring with an appraisal will sell much easier, and for money than one without it. It’s worth the investment for sure.
Then, your best bet is to list it on eBay with a reserve. Decide what the least you are willing to part from it for is, set that as your reserve, and hope for the best. Be sure to include VERY clear pictures and the cut, color, clarity and carat measurements in the description. Without good photos, your ring won’t sell.
Finally, be realistic about your price. If your ex-fiance bought it for $2400, it is likely you will get about half that. Jewelry has such a high markup when sold from Jewelry stores, and you won’t be able to recoop that.
Good luck!

Tell your job you will not be leaving anymore is it ok for you to return.If he didn’t ask for the ring back then i don’t think you should have to give it back.
January 31, 2008
I would suggest listing it on Ebay. I think that is your best bet for getting close to what it is worth. Im sorry that your fiance broke it off, it is his loss and Im sure he wasn’t worth it.

You are angry. Maybe you should wait till things calm down.
February 2, 2008
I agree that you should give the ring back.
However, if this doesn’t happen, make sure to get a copy of the certification before you do anything with it. If the cert is through the Gemological Institute of America, there will be a microscopically tiny number inscribed right on the stone. Have a jeweler get that number for you, then contact the GIA to request a copy of the cert. That with an appraisal will get you a better asking price.
Good luck.

How much you want for it??

I’m waiting for all the thumbs down..but GOOD FOR YOU for not giving it back…but thats only if he broke it off..and it sounds like he did.
Go somewhere and get it appraised then try to sell it on craigslist or ebay. If not, alot of jewelry stores will do a trade in on something double the price so you could buy yourself some nice earrings or something like that and trade it in.

Thingswebuy.com buys jewelry you could check them out… They are very trustworthy company…they require that you send in your jewelry for them to appraise and then they call and tell you how much they would pay you for it…and if you agree they send you a check, if you don’t they mail it back to you. Ebay is great but you have to pay to list it. You could check out Craigslist. Don’t give it back to him… the only time you should give the engagement ring back is if you break it off. If he breaks it off, keep it! (I watch Judge Judy lol)

I would take the stone out and keep it and then sell the setting to a pawn shop or something

He’s not about to give you the paperwork for you to milk the money that he paid for the ring. Get over the bitterness and be the bigger person here. I know you hurt, or you’re just angry, but at least wait until you’re past it, and think with a fresh head.

I’d first of all set your sights lower than the 2.4k because it’s unlikely you’ll get that price for it after it’s already been sold once. Definitely go ahead and spend the amount (if you can afford it) to have it appraised at a local jewelry store. Then go around to local jewelry stores and figure out which ones are buying. I wouldn’t recommend going to a pawnshop because that’s where you will get ripped off the most.
Once appraised, if you can’t find a store to sell it too, then look at options like selling the ring through the classifieds section of your local newspaper or on sites like Ebay. Once again, more money for the advertisement, but having the ring sold is better than it sitting on your dresser collecting dust.
Also, I just wanted to say I feel you’re justified in keeping the ring. If you broke it off or if it was mutual, I would agree that it should be returned. But if you’ve wrapped up things at home only to find out you now have no where to live and no job (thus no income) sell the pretty gem for the pretty penny. A broken wallet needs compensation.

My ex fiance cheated on me and so our wedding was called off. I felt the same way, why should I give him the ring back. I sold mine on consignment through the jewelry store where it was purchased. I only had to give them 10% of the sale. I’d recommend to definitely look at selling it on consignment. It takes more time to sell, but you’ll probably get more money for it.
I’ve sold jewelry on ebay before and definitely didn’t get anywhere close to what the stuff was worth.
Engagement rings need not always contain diamonds. Popular trends include using gemstones as sidestones as well as other precious stones.
