Ok so first, don't cry for me Argentina, but the wife and I are splitting up. I'm not looking for any sympathy (except from maybe DC Tom), nor am I looking to discuss the details, and finally, no I don't have a "pic" or "link" of her. That said, I need some advice on selling a diamond ring. (yes, I got it back).
I know pawn shops are my last resort; but I'd rather go that route than eBay I think. And I'm fairly sure (from the googling I did that jewelry stores will laugh me out of the place).
The details on the ring are as follows:
Its GIA certified with GIA # 15897596
It is a "squared modified brilliant" cut (otherwise known as princess cut)
Measurements of the center diamond are 5.49x5.32x3.74
Carat Weight of center diamond is .91 carat
Color is G
Clairty is SI2
Finish:
Polish: Good
Symmetry: Good
Fluorescence: None
The ring itself is white gold and the diamond setting is platinum
It has 4 "diamond melee" on the sides (baguettes I think they're called) totally .40 additional carats (.075, .075, .125 and .125)
It was bought and appraised for $5,480.
Now, I know that, in this economy, with the ridiculous mark up of jewelry in the first place, I may be lucky to get $2,000 for it (and that's probably a stretch) I just want to know if anyone knows, based on experience or knowledge of diamonds or jewelry, what my best option is in this case.
