Should I sell my wedding ring from my first marriage?

I still wear the engagement ring I got from an ex. I have no feelings for him I just like the ring. We broke up on friendly terms so I kept the ring as he didn't want it. I would keep the ring if you like it. It would be a shame to sell it then regret it.

If you like the ring then keep it. You don't have to sell it. Unless if you are desperate for money then go ahead. But if I had that kind of ring I would not sell it. It has sentimental value.

Since, as you say, it has no sentimental value in regards to your ex and you don't wear it and have no one to hand it down to, I'd probably opt to sell it. I'd shop around though for the best price you can get and then maybe use a little of the money you get to buy you another ring that you really like. Most ppl I know that hang onto things like that is for sentimental reasons. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I request you to not to sell the ring for any person.It is a wonderful gift given to you by a man.Gifts should not be sold.Instead if you are in need of money then sell it,or else keep it with you as it is valuable.

Since your ex may have done something wrong to you,and the ring will let you think of him,I can suggest you to sell that ring away and maybe get another ring for yourself.

I think you'd better keep it as it's very meaningful.Although the old one is gone,the special time has been witnessed.So keep it as a souvenir.

might as well..either that,or have it made into something new. it's hard to say..diamond aside,all places will try to get the cheapest price for it.i've had pretty good luck with higher priced jewelry companies though,like zales.

well i guess you better not sell it unless you really need the money then that's the time consider selling it but if not just hold on to it as a remembrance of what had been or what had happened to your life it may not be good or it may be bad it is still something worth remembering i would say. I believe that the mere fact that you are asking us for an opinion is really a sign that there is a hesitation on your part to do what you are thinking i guess better not.

If you would like a little extra money or there's something that you really want but haven't been able to afford then selling it would be a great option. Or if you don't really need the money or want to buy something special consider having it made into something new. That way you get to keep the pretty diamonds and the sentimental value plus you actually get to wear it.

if you feel like selling it, then go sell it. there is nothing wrong with it. a lot of people do that today. as you said there is no one to pass on the ring, so in the end it will end up in the market so why not now. Mine, i dont know where it is now. I didnt remember where i hide it. After we got separated, i removed it from my finger and hide somewhere. No i really can't remember where i put it.

You should never sell it.Thats my advice.This is the good thing that you can show to your husband.Well it all depends on you.

i think its really difficult to sell your ring at the price it was bought. if you are not financially short or something like that,perhaps you should keep it as you did inthe past 30 years and it has some meaning to you as you said. but if you really want to sell it,maybe you can take it to the jewelery dealers and ask for price.

I suggest to keep it. It did mean something. right!

Hi, since you like to ring so much, in my opinion i don't think you should sell it. It's hard to find something that you really love. You might be not be able to find the same design again after you have sold it. I think it will be better if you just keep it unless you really short of money and need to money for something else.

rather than sell it (unless you are really hard up for money) maybe you can talk to a person who makes jewelry into removing the diamonds, melting the gold and making something else out of it get what they call a right hand ring made out of it... http://www.jewelry.com/right-hand-ring.shtml

Good luck. I thought of selling mine but was told at the pawn shop that they weren't buying gold at that time. I asked how much I would get if they were interested, and was told "Only about $10".

That has to be totally up to you! No one can tell you what to do in such a decision. If you want to keep it then by all means, keep it but if you feel better selling it to get your ex out of your life once and for all then sell it. I'll tell you this, I didn't have a pretty ring when I got married the first time. It was just a plain ole gold band and I bought the diamond myself so it didn't have any sentimental or pretty value to me so I sold it.

If you love the ring as it is, couldn't you wear it on the other hand? I mean, there is no sentimental value to it, but you do like it, so wear it. What's the difference? Or, like everyone else says, have it made into something else. I know for sure, I would take it to about 10-15 different places before I'd make a decision. One of them might be reasonable where you could really get a good price. I remember when I was divorced and had this really pretty diamond band, which I know he bought for about $2000.00....I checked around, and finally found a place that would give me at least half of what it was worth. The rent was due so I took the deal and at least paid my rent for a couple of months. I guess it depends on how much you need the money, or just want to keep the stones and re-make them into something you would treasure over the years for yourself. I needed the money for rent, and sold it. But, considering what other places wanted to give me, which was absolutely nothing in comparison, I woudn't have sold it. This jeweler was at least honest and the best deal I found. It's up to you hon.
