Selling Ring & Band Set

Could you please send me pix of the rings. I would be interested. My email address is ____@____.com

Hi N.,

Sorry to hear about the split. My dad is a jeweler and often buys rings/diamonds and I'm sure he'd be interested.

His business is LD Jewelers in Hickory Hills (95th St. and Roberts Rd.) in the Jewel Plaza. The number is ###-###-####. They are closed Sundays and Mondays. Hope it works out for you.

im real sorry to hear it didn't work out. i'm a mother of two boys myself and can't for the life of me imagine doing it by my self. So be strong and hope you have good friends and family to help you get through it. I fell bad saying that i woud be interested to see what the ring looks like. My e-mail is ____@____.com boyfriend of 6yrs and i were going to get married last year but my second son Julian surprised us in October so plan are being pushed off. the hard part is i bought my wedding dress last year b/4 i found out i was pregnant so i want to get back to that size. well hope you'll do well. If you ever need to talk pls let me know i live in the northwest side of chicago

Dear N.,

If you are looking for the money quickly, go to www.selljewlery.com, get the phone number (they have a Chicago office in the Hancock Building) and go with them. They will give you the value of the metal and stones. If you can put it with the jewler you bought it with while they get another buyer you will probably get more money but it may take up to a year (that's how long it took me to get rid of mine).
Unfortunately, if you bought the set through a big retail store; Zales, JB Robinson, Gerad etc., be prepared to get much less than what you bought it for. Retail chains are like the McDonalds of jewlery stores. Going through independant jewlers, like those on Wabash give you much better deals (buying and selling) at a far better price.
Good luck to you.

I'm sorry to hear the news about your relationship. I know how it is...especially when there are kids involved.

I would be interested in looking at your rings if you have not sold them. Could you email me pics? Also, maybe you should try listing them on ebay. You may get more than you are asking for on that website.

Hi N.,

First of all I'm very sorry to hear about your split. Unfortunately I'm not interested in the ring but I'm in Oak Lawn so we're practically neighbors. I have a 9 week old little boy and I'm currently engaged. We split up last year and then got back and shortly found out I was pg. So, if you need to vent or chat, feel free to drop me a line (my email is ____@____.com). I've been through the breakup thing after 4 years and its rough, especially with children. Good luck and take care! J.

I am a single mother. I was with my husband for almost 4 years when I decided to leave. I know that selling your ring may seem like a good thing to do, but you may regret it. I still have my wedding band, because it helps me remember the good times, and the bad. If it wasn't for my experiences, I would not be the person I am today. I look at it sometimes to keep myself in check. Now, I am a successful banker and have a wonderful 3 year old. You'll be able to get thru this, trust me, but selling your ring won't help anything. The funny thing about my situation, I'm only 22 years old, but I feel like I'm 30. If you need any advice, child care, finance, feel free to utilize this site and contact me if you wish. I hope everything works out for you.

If you could send me some pics I might be interested ____@____.com

Thanks,
A.

Hi N.,
Unfortunately, I am not in a position to buy the ring & band set from you. However, I thought you might want to check out the Single Parents bulletin board on babycenter.com. There's a great group of ladies there that have great advice and a wide range of experiences. The first link is more focused towards single moms with babies under 2 (like myself, although parents with older children hang around as well). The second link is for single parents with older children.

You'd need to sign up for an account (free) to post to any bulletin board. Babycenter has a great wealth of information. Good luck!
