[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any kids? Keep it for them and let them melt down the metal and re-use the stone. That's a much better "value" than hawking it for 30% of the appraised value. [/quote]

I have three kids and had one large diamond. I don’t see the point of giving one a diamond that symbolizes broken promises and a broken family. [/quote]

Or you could look at it as the diamond that symbolizes the love and the union that created you [b]so here now you can save money.[/b][/quote]

This. You really think one of your sons wants to shell out for an engagement ring while simultaneously trying to save for a wedding AND a house downpayment AND prepping for a kid within 5 years AND....

Hold the ring for one of your kids. One of them will want it. Don't do anything with the ring until you're in a better head space where you see it as "just another asset," as mentioned by a PP.[/quote]

Agree. It’s just an inanimate object. I finally had mine made into a drop pendant for a necklace and wear it almost every day. It’s actually kind of empowering to make it into something you really like. Someone was admiring it once and I confessed where it was from, and someone else at the table said “Mine, too!” More of them out there than you might think. [/quote]
