Pawning/selling wedding jewelry
For those that are divorced, what did you do with your engagement ring and wedding band?
My divorce was super amicable and I had planned on giving my rings to my daughters when they're older. Now I need cash and I'm going to see what I can get for them. I'm feeling a little guilty though.

Jewelry has such a high retail mark-up and such a low re-sell value.
You'll probably be better off keeping them and passing them on to the daughters to save them the expense in the future.

I sold mine and ended up dating the owner of the jewelry store I sold it to. I guess he really knew I was single at that point LOL.

Damn, I never considered the benefits of becoming a jeweler.
@JimG lol
@Donotbelieve at least they know we are single lol.
Didn't have any.
Two marriages - no rings, etc.

My wedding ring is beautiful and I love it. Not because it holds any significance for my marriage. It's just a beautiful ring. And it was expensive, in my opinion. So I'm holding on to it. I can trade it in for something else when the time is right.

Mine isn't especially nice and I doubt it is worth much. Really needing rent money and do not want to ask my parents. I don't really think my kids will use it....thought perhaps their kids (my future grandchildren) might like it down the road.
@Marcie1974 no need to feel guilty. If you need money then you should sell it.
Sold it.
If you go to a pawn shop, be prepared to be insultingly lowballed.

I took it to a jewelry store that also buys jewelry. They aren’t buying marquee cut diamonds and said she could just offer me money for the gold. Which ended up being $57.
Went to Pawn America and he eyeballed it and said he’d pay $150 for it. Nope!
