We Are Selling His Engagement Ring!! | How Much Can We Get?

[@mistyboland24]

Do not ever give a girl a ring that you already gave to someone else.

[@nicole6096]

I totally agree 💯

[@adventuresoftheHarrisfamily]

I second this!

[@carleyglambert-secondchannel79]

YES! Exactly that is a No No, The next girl will NOT Want the same ring that the ex has already worn, She would not even wear that she would want a new one.

[@dontmindme.imjustafraidofe9327]

Agree! ❤

[@J7pat7]

The ring can be changed and customized. Maybe add some Jewels to it .

[@WhenMelSings]

I work in the jewelry industry and a lot of places will let you trade in pieces for old gold credit towards a new piece. I would suggest having the stones removed, taking the mounting somewhere that issues gold credit, and possibly re-using the stones in a custom piece later on.

[@Mrs.Mann1777]

As a women who is indeed married already I wouldn't accept a used ring that was previously giving from my significant other "lover" at that time. I would actually feel that I got the leftovers. Just my personal opinion.❤ I would rather get a Pandora ring than your ex's engagement ring

[@madysonclaeys6934]

[@J7pat7]

What is it was changed and customized such as removing/adding jewels and design to it ?

[@nl5473]

The second gentlemen’s is correct. My advice for anyone thinking about purchasing an engagement ring is to do your research first on cost vs value specially when it comes to diamonds. Just bc you see a ring has a bunch of diamonds or a huge diamond that doesn’t meant it’s valuable ( their are different clarity’s, carats ex. Vs1 vvs1 vvs2 etc.) Do not buy in any jewelry store inside a mall or name brand jewelry store! Go to a private jewelers and talk to someone knowledgeable tell them your budget and what you’re looking for and most likely would be best to ask to have one built! They will give you an appraisal & authenticity papers (important for insurance and if something like this situation was to happen)

[@GrannyHugs]

A future fiance is NOT going to want a "used" engagement ring. Maybe some don't care but there are others who may think it's bad luck. I agree with Alex most pawn shop owners lie! They may give you $200 but turn around & sell the set for 1800! I would fone a good appraiser & have the set appraised then you know how much you should get for them.

[@MsCrazymomof3]

Not really a lie. It's called a mark up. It covers overhead.

[@andrewsimckes5748]

They will offer 25 to 30 % of value it is not markup most diamonds are broken down the rocks go into a bucket the metals get put into a different bucket and it gets melted down

[@karentorres7468]

Sell it on line

[@findmeintime]

the family heirloom you gave to Isaac to propose to Melinda would likely be more intrinsically valuable as well as sentimental.

[@KeKe_10_84]

Please don’t encourage Alex to give an engagement ring he picked out for one partner to another in the future. I would be pretty hurt and offended if my partner gave me recycled ring he first picked out for and gave to someone else. I would instead recommend selling it privately or maybe reusing the diamonds/stones within the current to create a whole new ring adding other unique things to it to make it entirely new and for that special person down the road. I would not give the recycled ring in its current state to someone else in the future though, yikes! I’m not surprised a man would suggest that to y’all lol 😂.

My weeding rings were bought at a pawn shop. They were perfect and I loved them. 6 years later when the marriage unfortunately did not last, I took them to another pawn shop to sell and got double the amount they were originally purchased for. Buy pawn, sell pawn.

[@LovinElvis247]

Alex could always use it and have a custom ring made from the diamonds later on down the road.

[@melissahcat123]

I believe that energy is tied to material items. I would definitely sell it privately, or use it as credit towards a different ring. It shouldn’t be kept be given to his next partner.

[@jennifertriden4837]

Definitely try online instead of pawn shops. Always meet in public so they can't run off with your merchandise.

[@beckscroft18]

I'm so sorry Alex. You know what though you can't put a price on love & your worth your weight in gold 🪙 !! Xx

[@kristiphillips7783]

I say that he should take it to a reputable private jeweler that has been around a very long time and have all the stones/diamonds removed out of it and the wedding band. They will give them to him in a vial. Then wait and watch gold prices. When high...sell the gold from both at its peak. Like anything else , the value does go up and down. You just have to have patience and careful where you sell it. There are "real" places out there that will give fair deals but remember they need to make a little money also. Then in the future when that special someone comes round (and she will), he can create a one of a kind ring with the stones and add to it if he feels the need. Like the pawn shop guy said...it is often cheaper to custom build when you already have the gems. You have to part things out sometimes to get the biggest bang for your buck! But yeah, don't give that ring to another girl. That is not cool and being on social media...she WILL find out!

[@HeyRonni]

Not gonna lie I would rather have a cheap gumball machine ring than be proposed to with a ring from a prior failed engagement.

[@charriesanders8054]

If you take the ring back to the same store you purchased it at and want to purchase something else they will put the value of the ring towards your new jewelery. My husband and I just upgraded our rings in February at Zales and put my first ring towards the purchase of the new one❤

[@jordynblust7274]

DO NOT GIVE THAT RING TO ANOTHER GIRL - sincerely every girl in the chat lol

[@DreamweavrHairDesign]

My daughter got married last year and she went through a private diamond broker. She got the setting she wanted, better quality diamonds and they iterally paid less than $700. The guy is here in the Phoenix areas so if anyone needs help budgeting a nicer ring that costs less than the mall stores, I recommend him. Also he may be able to use the Diamond to make a different ring or customized jewelry.

[@andreabag11]

It was a very bad an idea in first place to get engaged and plan a wedding after a few weeks. And I remember how Alex disagreed with Melinda quick wedding and divorce and did exactly the same. Give someone used, unlucky a ring is not very smart start for a new relationship.

[@rmlrl1971]

If you reuse the ring, hope she has never seen any of your videos. I don't know any woman who would want a ring, that was intended for someone else. The only time that is appropriate is when it is a family ring that has been passed down.

[@donnavanderwalt7106]

I have inherited many rings from my mother and grandmother. I took them to a designer. They sold all the gold, which was worth something. Then I took that value and with stones and money made 2 new exquisite rings that I love. So I don't think Alex should use same ring, have it completely redesigned. I don't own a single shop bought ring. Mine are my own designs. Way cheaper and way more special. ❤❤

[@SuperMissblueeyes]

I can't believe the guy told you to keep it & give it to "the one" later on! That's a HUGE no no! I would sell it privately online.

[@maudtravel5666]

The mark up on engagements rings purchased in mall jewelry stores are a real rip off! I was crushed finding out what my wedding ring was worth when I tried to sell it. Same for the engagement ring. This Vlog is educational for anyone in the market to buy or sell an engagement or any other ring. Thanks for sharing, Crystal.

[@julievanerem9578]

Just goes to show you what the mark up is at the fancy jewelry stores. It is Unreal! Keep it, put some gold with it and have something gorgeous made!

[@eliareyes4640]

Alex I’m with you, a lot of these places will try and cheat you and give you just Pennie’s, then turn around and sell it for a lot. I had an engagement ring 💍 that went into the wedding ring. It was beautiful and worth 5 grand. We broke off the engagement and I sold it to a relative for 2 grand with all the papers. Your not always gonna get what you paid for, but atleast get a decent amount back. Or keep it and make a new custom ring out of it. Good luck 👍🙏

[@gingercollier7949]

FYI you can take the diamonds and create a new ring or sell it in the future. If Alex needs to still pay for it look at selling it privately. It’s a beautiful ring and I bet he could get more selling it privately especially with the paperwork you got on the ring.

[@suzytinsley1474]

I used to work for a wedding band maker. And the jewelry store markup is almost a thousand percent

[@andreaelliott728]

Every business overprices their merchandise, at least 100% markup, that’s how they survive after paying their own bills, payroll, insurance, taxes, etc. Plus they also still have room to put the items on “sale”, using “BOGO 50% off”, “clearance” and other marketing words, phrases and tools to make you want to buy their stuff! Even the colors and fonts they use in their ads and signage are part of that psychological game. We consumers are well-trained.

[@JaTon]

I used to work in a pawn shop. Diamonds are usually worth $1 per point, unless there’s a laser engraved serial number inside the diamond. Gold is roughly $300/ gram.

[@staceyarlene8888]

My friends husband bought her ring off Facebook market place. Maybe try listing it there and just see what you are able to get. The worst you could say is no to an offer or price that someone tries to get it for. I see lots of people posting rings on there with the paperwork showing how much it was and all of that. Start the price at what Alex thinks he really wants out of it (start higher then you can always go down). It is a beautiful ring.

[@rach97134]

Don't re-use the ring. I'd be livid if my partner used a ring he'd purchased for someone else. I think you're just going to have to take a loss on this one. Lesson learnt not to rush into things x

[@bexuk1825]

That’s what I thought. I’ve made a comment, so no doubt I will get hate.. I love crazy pieces, and crazy middles, but crazy pieces are my favourite, more down to earth, upbeat, always doing something new, and everyone gets involved. So my comment is really not intended to cause offence. It’s just my opinion, it feels like putting this public, is a reply to savannah like “Look this WAS yours, he’s gonna sell it” just seems a tad shady. Especially as none of us know the reason they broke up. People speculate, and assume, but we only know facts if Alex or Savannah tell us. I’ve seen a few people make comments, and it’s unfair, Alex asked fans not to be unkind to her.. their break up could literally of been about anything. They could have kept the ring sale/research private. If I saw my ex partners family on a YT channel, with thousands of followers trying to sell my engagement ring, and showing it on video, I’d feel like it was a shady dig towards me. They could have researched this on the internet. Both Crystal & Aaron are money savy, they’d of known how it works regarding Jewellery I’d of thought.

[@juliewaite2174]

Put the ring up for your viewers to bid on. Highest bid wins! Yay!

[@beckyjones6956]

I would not want a ring that was bought for the EX. Best to sell it. Cut the loss an have a learn experience that is more valuable. Surprised he got it back. It was a gift and the girl usually keeps it.

You can also turn it on to a new piece of jewelry pawnshops and jewelry stores will pay you well under price if you sell it on a place like marketplace you might get a better price BUT be careful where and how you sell it there you don’t know who you run into

[@margaretlees]

When I got engaged the ring was from a past engagement. Bad juju. It was a rocky relationship and not together now. If you are going to keep it you run the rusk of the value going down. Alex take the main diamond or some of the diamonds and get a piece made for yourself or future partner

[@marylindorff4538]

I used yo work for a jewelry store. The mark up they have is ridiculous. I bought my $2000 wedding set and with my discount I only payed $300.

I tried to sell mine on eBay and almost got scammed twice. Be careful if you go that route. I think if I were to have it certified 10 years ago, it would have cost me 100-200 dollars. And I would have had to mail it in, which made me nervous. The paper work that came with my ring doesn’t match which made it even harder to try and sell. What i did was have my wedding band to my daughter on her 25th birthday and I still have my engagement ring🤷🏼‍♀️. I wish I could still wear it because it’s so pretty 😂

When my husband wanted to upgrade my ring set we looked at stores in the mall (multiple stores) before we found the one on clearance when they were having an additional 15% off clearance sale and ended up getting an $8,000+ ring for far less than half of the cost and it was over 3 carats and then included a double wedding band. I had previously had a 1ctw diamond ring from a small shop like you went to and spoke to that gentleman for and was charged $2000. So it really depends on if there are specials going on etc. as to whether you get a deal. I would never have spent $8500 on the ring I have now but spending approx $3000 was an amazing deal.

The best thing to do would be to keep it for future use. However, take it to a jeweler maybe like that last guy you talked with and work with him to re-design it so it will not be the exact same ring re-used. Just the materials will be the same. Maybe change out the stones, that I'm sure he has and sales.
