How long until you sold your ring?

rakattack · February 2012

I think I'm ready to sell mine after 3 months.

I'm wondering too. It's been two months since we decided on divorce. At first, was going to make my e-ring into a necklace. But, now I don't even like my rings! I will sell them once the divorce is finalized which is in about two months. I know I read on here that you get around a 1/3 of what you paid for them. Breaks my heart!

I don't have my wedding band (he kept it - don't ask), but I have my engagement band and I've been thinking of selling it more frequently lately. I'll probably do it sometime in March.

My jeweler has been holding mine since October. She's trying to sell it back on the wholesale market or directly to a buyer. I had a big ring so it's taking a while to sell. Fingers crossed it sells soon so I can move out!

I had mine on consignment for six months and it did not sell

I took it to 2 jewelers before I decided to consign it though and they both offered me $1,000. Not sure what I am waiting for now, it's been over two years since I left. Guess it's just general procrastination.

I sold mine after 10 months, 4 months after the divorce was officially finalized. I needed the money and I had no desire to keep them to make something else. That being said I did get probably about 1/3 of their value if that. But then again EXH is full of it so who knows how much he paid. I wouldnt have been shocked had the thing not been a diamond.

I still have mine, left a year and half ago, divorce final almost a year. They won't be worth much if I sell them, so I'm keeping them for my niece. When she graduates high school I'm making her a piece of jewelry out of them.

I sold mine in December, almost 2 years after we separated.

trafficgirl · February 2012

I lost my wedding band around the time we separated (not on purpose) and I still haven't done anything w/ my e-ring. I was ready to sell it as soon as we separated, but I knew I'd get jack squat for it so I haven't done anything yet. But I don't want to turn it into other jewelry either. Right now it's just sitting in a jewelry box with a bunch of other stuff I never wear. I'm just being lazy about it.

Thank you for reminding me that I still need to give him my e-ring back. The stones were family heirlooms, so I told him that I didn't feel right keeping it. Clearly, this isn't really on either one of our radars, as we've been separated since May 2010 and divorced since October. I do need to do that, though.

I'm keeping my wedding band, and I have no plans to sell it, nor do I have plans to wear it. But it's a beautiful eternity band, and I don't have bad memories of my marriage, so I figured hanging on to it was the right thing.

Sold mine about a year after the divorce was final.

Alicia_R1 · February 2012

i'm still trying to sell it (divorce was final in June), mainly because i want to take it to this local place that will buy jewelry and see what they will offer, i know if i take it back to where i got it, they will give me 2600 (what we paid for it) in store credit and they will quote me a price on what they will pay to buy it back, but i don't really want to drive to philly so i want to see what this other place has to say first.

CarrotsMakeMeFat · February 2012

He tried to argue that he should get the ring back, so I waited until the divorce was fairly final. I got $1,500 for my E ring at an antique store ( I needed to pay a bill off ), and I waited to sell the wedding band since no store would buy it. I struck gold and got a couple on CL to buy it for $800

If I had time on my side, I would have tried the consignment route.

Mine has been on consignment with the jeweler XH bought it from. The jeweler is only selling the diamond and said he will get about 2200-2500 for it. If we were to sell it anywhere else, it would be about $900. It's been there since the fall, so who knows!

I sold mine within 6 months
