Would you sell your jewelry and your spouses jewelry to get money to get out of debt???

First before you sell anything cut those credit cards up and stop using them now. That is how so many people get into debit in the first place, if you don't have the money to pay for it than you really don't need it right?? Second you are thinking of these rings and stuff as objects, which they are but do they not hold memories of the times that you and your husband spent together, the reason that the ring was given. It maybe just jewelry, but look past and see what they really mean. Try before that to get help with your debit, call and see if you can consolidate your bills, they now have debit councilors to help people like yourself, but remember get rid of those cards and that will start you on the right road. Good Luck and please don't do it behind your husbands back that could hurt more than your credit, it could hurt your marriage. Talk to him if that is the way that you think that you need to go.

DON'T Make the mistake I did. \n\nDon't get all stuck on making sure it is a surprize..\nTake her shopping with you.\n\nBefore you do, make sure you have several discussions about finances with her. Be open and honest and make sure she is being so too.\nLet her know that you love her. Make sure she knows that you are very romantic, but you love her too much to not include her in aa decision that is this important. Make sure she knows that you are not afraid to make the decision all by  yourself, but rather, that she is so important to you that you would Never want to take the risk that she might be disapointed with something that she will wear for the rest of her life.\n\nDiscuss How much to pay. And, before you go shopping, make sure you have agreed on a FIRM budget. \nI suggest that you make sure that you have enough to pay cash. Don't start your lives together in debt. If you don't have enough money yet, don't get married yet. THEN, do everything you can possibly do to GET/Save enough money. \n\nTHEN take her shopping with you. You don't HAVE to buy it right under her nose, you can always come back later, but make sure the jeweler gives you the item number so yu don't buy the wrong one.\n\nI agree, You can get a Better diamond if you buy it separately.\n\nIf you are buying a solitaire, you almost alway get a better deal on a .9 caret diamond. \nSo many people CHASE 1 caret diamonds that it drives the price up on them artificially. \n.9 is only slightly smaller, but can be just as pretty or prettier.\nOften, you can afford to go up a grade or two in quality on a .9 and get a much better quality diamond that REALLY captures attention for less than an inferior 1.0 caret. \n\nIn fact, any diamond .95 carets to .85 is still a .9 caret diamond. This is only 5 to 10 % smaller than a 1 caret diamond.

If I were in you shoes I would also sell it on ebay. If you really think about it, other people can use it and who knows you may make a little more then you paid and come out a head. \nI am so sorry that your wedding plans are off. god bless and best of luck to you

I married for money and I can tell you that is not the way to go.  I was a single parent working to pay bills and have time for my child.  I married and became a full time Mom which I love.  But my husband is very controlling over the finances.  I have "things" and I love my children but I have no relationship with my husband.  I am just another one of his "children".  If I could do it all over I would marry for love, friendship, companionship, and someone I enjoyed being around.  Money is great to have, I love that I am not in debt and have the finaces to buy what I want but I am lonely and find life is not much fun.  I stay for the children but when they are grown I am out of this marriage!

Your jealous, fess up! You know that's what it is about. My mother has all of her jewelry (quite a substantial amount) going to my daughter, my daughter will receive them after she turns 18 or my mother passes which ever occurs last. My daughter then has the option to give family members pieces of that or not to. She put this in her will simply so that stupid argument's don't occur like the one your about to have. The ring is gone to someone else, get over it. Ask you mother to will a special piece to you or your daughter.

My wife and I were both previously married.  We have a joint account for the majority of our money and then she has a small separate account so she can buy gifts and stuff without me knowing.  I think a relationship that is based on trust and sharing includes the financial side of things.

Possibly yes. It's a good idea to keep separate bank accounts - that way you will be able to always show that you have good credit. And if you buy something jointly you will probably automatically become responsible for it, especially as she already owes money elsewhere. :-/

I think that would depend on what the garnishments are for. If the garnishments are for debts owed, then I'd say yes. BUT if it is for like child support then I'd say NO.

Put jewels and leashes on them and sell them for $80-100 apiece. Works for the fashion industry.

I own my own business and it sounds to me like you have a great opportunity to sell what you have done.  Advertise it, you would be surprised at how many people would be interested, you have done all the leg work, I'm impressed and sorry that it is not working out for you.  Maybe you could sell it and pay off some debt and begin again.  It would be well worth it. Kudos to you.

Pay off all your debt?

you would have to get a personal loan .  or you could probably get financing through the jewellry store

I know this is tacky, but buddy, the only way not to lose out on the big bucks is to keep it for the next one. Then, just buy a different setting next time so it's not the same ring. You have to look at it for what it is - a rock. A thing. A possession. A cold material item. It does not represent anything anymore. It's just something you own. That's worth a lot of money. You'd be silly to throw that money away. Just don't tell a soul. Not your mom. Not your ex. Not your buddies. No one. This is your secret. And don't you feel bad for a minute, because it does not mean you won't love the next person any less. It just means you're smart with money. Do you think I go out and buy all new lingerie every time I get a new boyfriend? Sheets? Do you think I buy a new bed? Hell no. It's not realistic. It's too expensive. Use the diamond for the next setting. It's actually kind of beautiful and poetic. You gave your heart/diamond away once. It was returned to you, and you'll always be affected by that. But that doesn't mean you won't give your heart/diamond away again, and when you do, it won't be of any less value because you've loved once before.

Yes. Why would you want to bring the symbols of all failed marriages into a new one? You should pawn them and move on. With the money you receive from the old rings, get a new ring to start anew life.

Yes, you could get half the expenses back in court.  I don't think you would get all because its kind of a chance you take when you get involved.  You should give the ring back though.  Its the right thing to do because what do you want it for?  Hang on to if for now though until court is over because if you don't get anything from him for some reason you could at least sell it for some money to pay off the expenses.  Contact a lawyer because I've seen on some of those tv shows like Judge Judy and Joe Brown and people have got money back in the same situation.

i think that's ok, as long as what you are selling isn't soemthing that is really meaningful to someone else, like you wouldn't sell your mum's wedding ring just to buy your girlfriend/boyfriend a present.
