I need to sell a diamond. It literally has no value to me, other than the cash it can bring me for the value some other fool may place on it.

Anywhere in Houston I can get this done at fair market value? My appraisal says its worth 40% more than what I paid, so I know that's a joke. But, getting close to what I paid might be nice, but even that is going to be a stretch I am sure.

I have some tickets to Celtic Woman at the Smart Financial Center that I would be willing to trade you.

We need a photo of the ex before we are willing to offer anything of value.

Go to the guys at 6222 Richmond and see what they'll pay. List for a15% premium of that quote on Craigslist.

Or if you're not in a rush, get a real certification for it (GIA) and you can probably get a 25% premium.

Try Klein's jewelers on Wertheimer and see what you might be able to trade it for...maybe a nice watch.

Just be prepared you will get about 50% of what u paid for it from a jeweler. If it was an awesome stone I'd keep it and sell the band for whatever. You will use it again. Save your self having to rebuy a diamond.
Just never ever ever under any circumstances tell the new broad it's the old ones diamond....ever

if you were getting a divorce, you certainly wouldn't be getting the diamond back.

The latter part of this scenario seems like a good way to get dead

Jonathan's Fine Jewelers. I know a lot recommend them for custom jewelry but raw diamonds is what they really do.

I took my ex's ring back to the jeweler I bought it from and he gave me a dollar for dollar credit on what I paid. I turned it into a Rolex, then sold the Rolex. Which has much better resale value than a diamond.

Rule #1 still applies.

Especially since she's cool going out without a wedding ring on...

Either you're lying or you're married to a man.

No woman just doesn't want to wear a big rock on her finger.

Yea even if I somehow was magically worth a billion tomorrow and bought a huge new rock for my wife, if in a happy marriage there is no way she would let me sell that.

In his defense, my wife rarely if ever wears her wedding set. We have 5, 3, and 1yo kids and the stones scratched their skin. She has rings she wears in that spot so she's not looking like she's trolling. But she also wouldn't sell her wedding set. She wears it for nice occasions and when we have a night with no kids.

Exactly
The only two scenarios she would sell are divorce or dead flat broke

She's wearing a band not walking around without a ring on. A diamond engagement ring never held significance for me and has since lost significance for her. It's not what symbolizes love or a marriage but that's just two peoples opinion yours may vary and by all means to each his own

I'm exiting the thread now
