Should you sell your engagement ring (or wedding band) after divorce?

It is ok and it is common practice to sell your engagement ring or wedding ring after a divorce?

Once the relationship is over, there is no need to feel guilty about selling your engagement ring or any other items that belong to you and remind you of your lost. Divorce instigates a lot of change and part of that is letting the past go. Instead of dwelling in the memories, use the money for a positive new start. 

“I’m a kid in a candy store....absolutely gorgeous. Gal and Galit are incredible. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely NOT pushy.

I encourage you to stop by before you decide to purchase any jewelry. They represent and educate!!!

Now if I can only convince my husband to buy me my birthday gift. Diamonds are definitely a girl’s best friend”

What to do with an engagement ring and a wedding ring after divorce?

Having a ring sitting in a drawer, the back of the closet, or a jewelry box, collecting dust and spreading bad energy, isn’t the most positive way to try and move on from a bad experience.

Instead, think about how you can use that ring as an investment. Sell it to Raiman Rocks Diamond Buyers, get the best return for your diamond and move forward with your life!.

What you need to know about selling diamonds before you sell your engagement ring.

  1. Find a reputable and certified diamond buyer near you, like Raiman Rocks with over 35 years of experience.

  2. Search Yelp for a reputable local diamond jeweler and read their reviews.

  3. Understand that there is a difference between retail and resale value of your diamond jewelry.

Before you sell your diamond engagement ring, or other precious jewelry, first educate yourself about diamonds, as well as the valuing and pricing process.

How do I get my diamond ring appraised near me?

An appraisal is different than a diamond lab certification.

Most local jewelers in your community will offer an appraisal. This can be a good estimate of the replacement value of your jewelry, which can help you get it insured, and understand its retail value if you were to buy the same item at a store, today.

At Raiman Rocks Diamond buyers you always get a FREE Valuation that gives you an idea of what your diamond is worth if you would like to sell your diamond.

Who gets the engagement and wedding rings in a divorce?

In most states, diamond jewelry is considered a gift, and the gift recipient (bride/wife/woman) keeps her own engagement and wedding ring, whether she stays married or not.

Do diamonds appreciate in value over time?

Some diamonds appreciate with time, and some don’t. It depends on the rarity of the diamond.

Natural fancy color diamonds, especially pinks and blues and greens do tend to appreciate with time due to the very rare amount of their occurrence in nature.

Expect that the offer you will receive at auction or from a very reputable diamond buyer will be substantially lower than what you paid for it.

Reasons to sell your jewelry for cash:

  • You need the money for something more valuable like your kids college education, a house down payment or repair, or to pay for that dream vacation you have always wanted.

  • You don't wear, enjoy or like the piece of diamond jewelry.

  • You could use the cash from a sale to pay for a practical bill or a medical bill you need to take care of.

  • The jewelry is a gift attached to someone whom you have a negative or complicated relationship with. In other words, your diamond is creating bad energy for you. Cleanse that!

The bottom line is that selling an engagement ring that you don’t use, or no longer want, and is holding you on to a relationship that has bad memories could be the best way to move on.
