Do you want to sell your engagement ring? Are you tired of looking at something that disappoints you and just does not live up to your style? Hey, that’s okay. Not everyone is happy with the ring they receive, and it happens much more often than you may think.

Feelings of disappointment over an engagement ring happen and when they do, you want to make sure you do not rush into a quick decision about what to do next. Below, we will go over a few different things you can do when you find yourself disappointed with the ring you have received.

Think About It

While selling the ring and cashing in on a new ring is likely something you can’t wait to do, approach doing this too quickly with caution. While you may not like the look of the ring initially, it may start to grow on you after some time. You do not want to quickly sell the ring and regret it, so do make sure that you take time to think over your decision.

As you do take some time to reflect on the ring, try to think about why your partner chose that specific ring for you. Did it have some meaning behind it? What drew them to the size, design, color, etc.? The sentiment behind the choice in the ring, while not your favorite, may be enough for you to want to keep it.

Talk About It

This is the step that may cause some anxiety for you. Before you sell your ring, you want to make sure you discuss your unhappiness and disappointment with your partner first. Trust us – your partner will notice if you swap out the ring. Your partner may be completely okay with you choosing a new ring or they may disclose to you why they chose that particular one. As the conversation comes and goes, remain calm and listen to what your partner has to say, and recognize their feelings too.

Exchange the Ring

If your ring falls within the exchange period, you may be able to simply exchange it for a ring that you prefer. If you choose to do this, the process is pretty simple and you just head into the store where the ring was purchased and swap it out for something you like more. If the ring is lower in cost than the initial one, you will likely receive credit and if it is more, then you would pay the difference.

Customize It

Another option you have is to customize your ring and personalize it. Think about what about your ring you do not like and see if it is able to be “fixed.” If it is, then you can have the ring modified to meet your personal preferences. For example, do you want to add or remove stones from it, swap out the setting, or maybe have it engraved or add something extra to it? Your possibilities could be endless so don’t be afraid to ask and explore your options.

Sell the Ring

If you cannot modify or exchange the ring and you are truly unhappy with it, you can sell your engagement ring and then use the cash you receive to purchase a new one that you are happy with. When you buy and sell an engagement ring, make sure you work with a reputable jewelry buyer throughout the process.
