\"Used\" Engagement ring
$6K solitaire engagement ring. "Got it back" about a year or so ago. Does anybody know what to do with it? If I have to take a huge hit $-wise, I'll probably just mount it on my college ring. Any suggestions?

Re: \"Used\" Engagement ring
Keep the ring somewhere safe, when you get engaged again use the diamond in a new setting (let your engaged help select it if you like).

I think many women wouldn't be comfortable with that. Maybe if you reset it into a necklace, but it's sort of "tainted" now. Sell it on eBay. And J, your avatar sucks. I hate it. |

Have it insured. Have it "stolen".
Insurance fraud sounds SO easy, but I bet it isn't. |

Re: \"Used\" Engagement ring
Why would you want to keep around something as a reminder of a failed engagement? I'd treat it as if it were radioactive.
There are legit jewelry stores that deal in estate jewelry. They usually have a case or two of it. See if any are interested. Go with whoever offers the highest price and count every dollar over 1 as "found" money. Legally, she didn't have to give the ring back. Also consider it $6k well spent. Way better to find out before the wedding than after. Using the ring in any way for someone else unless it's a family heirloom = Tacky. |

If you sell, you'll only get 1500 if your lucky (and if it's 1 ctor larger and good C's).
I would do what the other guys suggested: keep it until you get another fiance. Go "shopping" with her and see what setting she likes. Then go back wihtout her and have the jewler reset the stone in the setting shee likes. Take the old setting and sell it at a pawn shop or try to get some discount on the new seeting with it. |

If she EVER finds out, and they have ways of finding out, the pain you will go through will definitely not be worth whatever you saved. Plus, you'll be buying a new ring anyway. Definitely -EV. |
Re: \"Used\" Engagement ring
Who said anything about lying? Shes not going to ask him if it is used.
