BM1874 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Anyone had the “privilege”? split with the ex, and have the ring, went to a couple of pawnbrokers (ramsdens etc) who quoted silly Low fee but both advised going private. any pointers towards exactly where to go would be great. not looking for a fortune but enough to recoup some of the fee thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Walter Payton Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I think @kearney19 had a thread on here years ago about selling his ring He might be able to assist with advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamstomorrow Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Get it authenticated by a Jeweller (get paperwork) and try selling on Ebay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sooperstar Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 An independent jeweller must be the best place for such things? When I say must what I mean is, that would be my best guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greedy Jambo Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Can you not just take it back to the shop you got it and explain the situation? Take 70% for what you paid for it or something. Or is that a crazy idea 🤷♀️ Mind you, it'll probably be shut won't it. Edited November 9, 2020 by Greedy Jambo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IronJambo Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Is it a decent ring or an Elizabeth Duke jobby with a bit shattered glass in it? We have to get my wife's engagement ring valued every 5 years for insurance purposes and it had doubled in value the last time round at 7 years old or so. Edit: meant to add, you might be quids in.

BM1874 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Ring was accepted 6 years ago, we split up, I got it back after and don’t want it or the memories associated with it but wouldn’t mind recouping some of the outlay back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
