How to Sell A Wedding Band?

frivolous_fay

Play your cards right and the conversation could go a different way...

"oh hey, i got this for you"

"WOW, this must have cost a bomb"

"yes dear, I got my old wedding ring, had it completely remade to symbolise my fresh start with you, and had it custom made in the style you like"

You know I think the idea of doing something with the ring that might be a very good idea. Maybe get something made for my wife.

Hmm do you think she would be pleased or offended by me making a ring for her from my previous marriages wedding band?

Thanks,

That would be a very insensitive idea. Every time she looked at it she'd be reminded of your previous marriage.

sell it. Go to a proper jeweler, not a pawnbroker, and see what they will offer for it. Then spend the money on your wife

Hi - Precious Metal prices change everyday (Gold twice - morning and afternoon). Today's afternoon prices for scrap are:

You will probably get less than this though if you take it to a Jeweller - because he will want some profit out of the transaction. But it will give you a rough idea of what you should get.

Damn - that's not come out clearly.

Thanks everyone. I got £30 as 18 carat scrap gold. I'm happy as I have had a lot of outlays and the small amount of money cheered me up.
