It is perfectly ok to sell jewelry that you don't wear. When I broke up with my ex i sold all the old jewelry he gave me. Even though everything he gave me was sentimental- i knew that we would not be getting back together and i would never wear the pieces again. (i even sold pieces that family members gave me over the years that i never wore). I think putting the money in a savings account for your baby is a great idea!
Just do your research- make sure you now what the going rate of gold is and go to a reputable jeweler or antique dealer and make sure they weigh the pieces in front of you- plus they should account for the size of the rubies. Good Luck!

Do you have any sentimental attachment to this set that you already say you hate? If there is none, go ahead and get rid of it. Keeping it around would probably only bring you guilt. If you do have a sentimental attachment, by all means keep it if you want to.
From the sound of things, though, I'd suggest you go ahead and sell it. It's worth would be far better served providing for your baby.

You can either save it for a daughter who will have great sentimental thoughts of it's giver or you can sell it. Selling jewelry never amounts to it's original cost. Pawn shops usually give ten to twenty-five cents on the dollar value. You could try give it as a gift to someone else born in July that you truly care about. I know some people consider double-gifting cheesy but I have done it to many people's delight!

He replaced into the single that broke the contract. no count if that's an heirloom supply it to his mothers and fathers and not him. in view that he's this form of jerk sell the ingredient or have a jeweler remake it to a necklace or yet another in demand ring. My form of this occasion and a few might selection in opinion, is that if he cheated that ring grew to alter right into a modern-day. form of a convenience prize. shop it and do what you p.c.. advertising the hoop, you wont get the superb deal. Have it remade. plenty greater constructive investment. greater constructive you hold your present than that different woman getting a used ring. Edit~ do no longer complication approximately being sued for the hoop. that's formally a modern-day to do what you p.c.. you could continually say which you lost it or that he has it and you don't comprehend the place that's.

Sell it. If it was an engagement ring, you would have to give it back, since it was a contractual gift, but if it was just a gift, then it is yours to do with what you wish. Especially if you're not even wearing it. It's not like you're doing out of spite, you just could find a better use for the money.

Sell it. It sounds like the money would benefit you, and it isnt doing alot of good to anyone sitting in your drawer. If you liked it then I was say keep it, but if you don't there are probably people out there that would enjoy it more than you.

if you hate it and you don't feel anything when you look at it. by all means sell the jewelry. you don't even like it and you still have other memories that'll give sentimental value. sell it and put the ugly jewelry to good use.

i would not sell it at all i mean if you get money all your going to do is spend it and then what - may be its not you but who's to say its not someone else give it to someone if you don't want to hold on to it . I'll keep it just to have and so that i remember what he gave me what harm is it to keep it. (if i got a divorce i would still keep my ring ) feel me.

Re-selling jewelry never gets you much cash. If your child is a girl. save it for her. If you want to sell it, go ahead, but don't expect to get much money for it.
