No, not that...pawnbrokers.

I am now the owner of a ring, that is doing nothing, so will be getting shot. It is only 2 years old.

It's a good 'un, and whilst I know s/h value plummets, is there anyone to avoid or recommend for selling to? I'd rather just go to one place that will give me a fair price and make their fair profit, rather than trawling from one place to another; can't think that'll make me feel very good.

If anyone knows these things, it's an 18t Rose Gold setting, GIA certified .56ct SI1, Colour E brilliant cut.

Any suggestions?

Sell your ring?

I heard Manningham Lane, Bradford is good for that sort of trade.

Go to a proper goldsmith, not a jeweller, or those dodgy scam gold buyers who have stalls in shopping precincts.
A goldsmith should give you the proper value for the gold as scrap, along with the value of the stone. They may buy it to sell complete, but I would trust a goldsmith over anyone else. Google or yellowpages for nearest. Sadly you're nowhere near enough to give you the name of someone I know who'd buy it.

Wish she had.

K-Sugden, it's a P from memory; will get a pic taken tomorrow.

EDIT: Oh and thank CZ, useful insight which I'll look into.

Why not auction it?
Tennants in Leyburn have a sale most weeks, they are selling a lot of gold tomorrow, have a look at their site tomorrow evening and see what the sale prices are like.
They take a week or 2 to pay up, and charge 17.5% commission, but when I've sold stuff through them I've always been happy with the prices. I've got something being sold by them next week, a local shop had it in for 9 months on a sale or return and couldnt shift it, took it to Tennants and they said they would have no problem getting rid.

You're more than welcome. I'd hate to see you lose out on something of quality like that. Hope it works out ok.
