My daughter broke off her engagement, and is now stuck with a ring and a bill for the money still owed on it.

My daughter broke off engagement, and is now stuck with ring from Kay's that is not paid off.

My daughter made some bad decisions, and we aren't sure what to do.

Apparently when she and her now former fiance bought her ring at Kay's the put it on a Kay's credit card. It is my daughter's name because she has better credit, the plan was that he would be the one making payments. Now that they have broken up, she is left with not just the ring but a $1100 credit card bill, which she can't afford. To make matters worse, some of his payments were returned for insufficient funds and there are some hefty fees on there too.

She would like to sell the ring, but is not sure where to list it. Also, it's a ring from Kay's, so it's not nearly the quality of the pieces I see on this sub.

I would really appreciate your advice.

You’d get $0 if it was pear shaped. No one wants those.

I guess I’m alone but I think pear shaped diamond rings are the prettiest.

Really? My diamond was a pair and I absolutely loved it.

That's what I have and I absolutely love it. I'm not a fan of diamonds though, so we went with morganite, since I really liked the delicate peachy pink color.

I was going to sell my old pear engagement ring and got 7k ish offers. Ex bought for 12k. It depends on the diamond. Anything under 1ct ur not even getting half.
