I have been separated 3 years and nearly divorced, but it's taking a while...!!
We are amicable and have 2 sons but have had our issues, he is a liar and manipulator and has exhibited some awful behaviour since our split (and some prior) such as stalking me, crossing boundaries and some things are were worse which I won't go into.
I had a lovely engagement ring that was made for me when we got engaged, its valuation is around £8000. I know there is a poor market for selling engagement rings and it's value won't match up with what I could get for it, as far as I'm aware? I was thinking of getting it made into something else, but unsure what, it's medium sized diamond surrounded by small diamonds and diamonds on the band, so couldn't for example be 2 matching earrings. Would it also be odd to wear jewellery made from a previous piece of sentimental jewellery, especially when I have such a sour taste in my mouth from our marriage?
