I inherited my mom's 3 ct. emerald cut engagement solitaire, surrounded by tapered baguettes and two small diamonds at the ends of the baguettes. Since I have my own ring, and don't care for emerald cut anyway, I conferred with the rest of the family and decided to sell the stone and put in a really good CZ. Now, I feel as though I still have her ring and nobody knows the difference.

Think about doing that. Maybe you'll feel better about the whole thing. The diamond is what brings in the money. Keep the setting.

Thank you all for the information. I truly appreciate it. I need the cash but will wait. Tomorrow I go to court in regards to sale of the house. Hopefully the judgement will be enough so that I won't need to sell the ring. Also thank you for your support, it has been a very difficult and messy divorce and these boards provide a lot of useful topics and help... Felicia

Sell it and be thankful you have something to sell. Why would you even hesitate if you are at this point?

[hckynut]

Me personally? I would want to separate myself from it and especially so if it is not an amicable divorce.

I have no advice, I just want to wish you the best tomorrow. I myself went thru a horrific divorce years ago and thought I would never be happy again--and then I met Mr. Channing and realized I had had no idea what happiness was!

Please be very kind to yourself during this terrible time.

Sell the ring if it makes survival at this point easier. I can't imagine you would feel sentimental about it since you are divorcing. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I would sell it as I cannot see how a ring from a painful marriage could have sentimental value.

If it's a 3 kt total weight ring, do not be surprised if it does not have a lot of value. Usually only large carat diamonds have much resell value.

A jewelry store in my area would take your ring on consignment, they take 30%....you might look into trying that. If not, sell it privately you will get more for the ring. I am sorry you are going thru this but I would do all I could to not sell it, but I am not walking in your shoes.

What was the result today? Or are you going tomorrow? I hope it was/will be positive news.
