I started seeing my ex at the start of 2013, and he proposed to me very quickly, after only 6 months in fact.
I said yes, but when we came back to England and moved in together, things started to go downhill, and we never planned a single wedding-related thing. We broke up at the beginning of 2015, and my engagement ring has been rattling around in a drawer ever since.
So my question is what do I do with it?
I've thought about taking it to a Jeweller's to see if they will buy it, but I wouldn't get a very good price for it, if they're even interested at all.
I could scrap or pawn it, but again,I'm afraid I would only get pennies for it.
Last week, I tried eBay. I listed it with a reserve of £30.00, and a "Buy it Now" price of the same amount. I did suspect that it wouldn't sell - people generally don't want second-hand re-sized rings when they're using it to ask somebody to spend the rest of their life with them,and prefer to opt instead for a shiny new one, but I decided to give it a go anyway.
Today was the deadline, and after having only 1 watcher all week, the ring didn't sell.
Back to square one, then!
I've decided to try again, only this time, I've opted for a starting bid of only 99p, with no reserve. It's a lovely ring - not too showy, not tacky either - and it deserves to be worn, but I just don't want to, and I'm just not sure what to do with it if it doesn't sell this time around. Here's hoping that it finds its way to a nice couple who perhaps don't have a lot of money and will appreciate the ring more than I do!
