Jewelry is just about the worst investment a person can make and no one ever gets true value for it. A friend of mine's dad was a jeweler and I nearly died when she told me how high the mark up is.

It would probably nice. It doesn't have to symbolize a failed relationship if you don't want it to. Sometimes, I think symbolic gestures are the stuff of Hollywood and are overrated anyway.<BR/><BR/>Also, I meant to comment on your book thing a while ago. Sorry that didn't work out. I've had that kind of disappointment before. I kind of think most people have too. With my supposed bust (not getting in a published paper to a conference), I refocused on other things, and kept that in the back of my mind to do at some point in the next couple decades.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11090028.post-4643589766202022192009-02-19T00:50:00.000-05:002009-02-19T00:50:00.000-05:00Ugh, I know! The site is RedSwan.com and I first read about it in Daily Candy, which I consider a very credible source. http://www.dailycandy.com/everywhere/article/39333/Hock+and+Roll<BR/><BR/>I guess they don't count the diamond chips encrusted in the sides for anything, just the platinum used in the band. Pffht. Whatever. I know similar rings retail for at least $1K. Then again, perhaps a tenth of the original value is all the damn thing is worth after being tarnished by our failed relationship.Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15943309802245491388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11090028.post-20747887155795005182009-02-18T22:18:00.000-05:002009-02-18T22:18:00.000-05:00What site did you use?

A minor setback. I wish I had some advice, but I am not well versed in the secondary market for engagement ring settings.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps ebay? <BR/><BR/>If you don't have any luck, perhaps you might consider Goodwill? Might be good karma to just donate the frakkin' thing and be done with it. (I know - easier said than done in this economy).Pete Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09905636843665171667noreply@blogger.com
