Who wants a free engagement ring?

Wow! What a hard decision. I think I would have kept the ring for a little while but, times are tough all over. If I could get a good price for the ring I would sell it. Possible trade it for something else. I am sure the first person who saw that listing jumped on it. Would be nice to think that it went to someone who could not have otherwise afforded a ring fro his intended. I guess that is the romantic in me.

Wow, Wow, Wow!!!!! I would have definitely sold it (especially in these economic times) I can’t believe what you are telling us! Now I will have to check out this website you are talking about! My jaw is still touching the ground!

I would have taken it to a jeweler or a pawn shop to see if I could sell it, or at least given ebay a shot.

lol. I am wondering what to do with my jewelry as my husband walked out on me and filed for divorce. I will probably pawn or sell my jewelry but I could never wear it again. His mother wants my engagement back as it was her mother's ring. Nice huh? She asked for it back a few days after he walked out. Needless to say, I still have it. He can have it back as part of the settlement but he is going to have to pay for it.

Oh. That is really tacky! And gutsy all at the same time! I have an emerald bracelet that I bought at a yard sale for $3. The lady said it was costume jewelry because her ex-husband was cheap and never bought her anything real. I kept waiting for it to turn my arm green, or the gold to tarnish. It never did. Two years after that I had a friend who owned a jewelry store sitting beside me at a ball game. He commented on the bracelet and when I said "OH it's not real", he looked puzzled. Who told you that? He asked at which point I told him the story. He asked me to bring it in to the shop and let him look at it just to satisfy his curiousity. I did the next morning. After he examined it, he told me the bracelet was 24K gold and all three Emeralds were real. The bracelet was worth almost $700.

When we're hurt we do stupid things.... things that we may regret down the track. I'd say she just wanted it gone. Money doesn't even come into play when you're upset. My girlfriend and I are having problems right now and I've already bought her birthday present (it's not unttil May). I keep looking over at this bagful of really nice stuff I've bought for her and thinking "Well, if she ends this, that has to go in the bin". And most likely, that's where it'll go. Maybe I'll just donate it to charity or something. Either way, I'll need it gone.

No I wouldn't. When I got a divorce I kept the rings for a couple of years....then found a jeweler who showed me some molds....I had them melted down into a ring I wear all the time...it's a rose and my diamond is set in the middle of it...it's beautiful..and I told one of my daughters though..if I ever meet someone else that I will give it to her as I wouldn't wear a wedding ring from more then one man at a time.

Really?? He will just give the diamond ring to anyone for free?? But why?? Is he stupid?? Well, if I'm in his situation I won't give it away especially for free.. What I'm trying to say is he can keep the ring for remembrance and if he really love his ex and treasure her so much, then he just keep it and find someone who can own the ring for the second time..That ring must be so special, it must be kept forever..

Me I would have sold it but maybe he or she thought why not go to someone that could really use and want this item? I think if they felt it was the right thing to do at the time than more power to them,. Where was this posted at? That is what I want to know. But hey people give things away all the time so I am not too shocked. mylotting to you:)

I kept my firt set for my daughter but it's a set you can't pawn for $10 because HE was a donkey's back side.

Funny. My sister-in-law in my first marriage stole my original rings which I had to pay for because my ex didn't have monies at the time. They were pure silver and I was quite upset with her for stealing them. However, my second husband has given me many rings so I think the fates are making up for it. Namaste-Anora

Yeah,me too!I would really keep it or would sell it.Its a very expensive thing and its cost can earn me a living!Wow,the person must be very rich.Who would just give their ring like that?

i would hav presented it to my lover..........

For such kind of things,I will never want a second one.It must be a fresh ring~

Wow!! Someone giving away an Engagement ring on Freecycle? I have never heard of that one before, and I am sure unless it was just a cheaper band or something most people would have definately tried to sell it. This is amazing though that someone would do this.

Man I need to start looking on freecycle. I never would have thought that someone would give away a free ring. I know some people get some great stuff on there and I have never been to the site myself but hey there is a first time for everything. Happy mylotting
