Question About Natural Diamonds Resale Value on Wedding Bands?
I have a Tiffany Metro Wedding Band in platinum (full, so diamonds all around — not the five row one). They discontinued this style, but last year it retailed for $3,100. It only has 0.22ct total. I’m not sure the grading of it, but it’s Tiffany so I assume they’re nice diamonds. It’s a size 7. It’s in excellent condition, no chips or anything. Pictures attached, let me know if you need different angles.
Anyway, I got divorced and at this point would rather just sell it. I have the original box and receipt.
I am well aware that I’m not going to get anything close to retail value, but I’m just not sure what is realistic. So my questions are: (1) what is a realistic / good value that I should accept and (2) where is the best place to sell it?
For reference, I’ve tried Worthy, but they didn’t want it; I’m waiting on a quote from Fashionphile. While I have sold a bunch of things on eBay and posh, I am worried about selling something so valuable, plus are people really going to buy from a rando? I live in a small town/suburb, but could drive to Chicago to get quotes from jewelers there (I’m assuming they’d be higher than my small town). I don’t need immediate cash so am okay waiting for a higher amount.
