Selling my Vatche ACA grace

[akmiss]

Hello,

Can you tell me if I am way off base on the pricing for the listing below? I posted the loupe troupe listing awhile ago to see if there is any interest and since then my home has sustained damage in a massive earthquake...

It’s a beautiful ring.
One problem with “pre loved” engagement rings is that there’s a bit of a stigma with them. I presumed you paid over $5,000 ish so while $2,500 seems very fair, there aren’t a lot of buyers for pre loved diamond engagement rings.
I’m just wondering, other PSers please, if separating the two might be a better opinion / faster sale ie selling the Vache Grace setting separate to the diamond.
Lots of people love the Vache settings and a coloured gem in there would make a stunningly fabulous RHR. The diamond is also lovely, great quality, someone might like a pendant made or set it into a bangle or even match with another to make diamond stud earrings.
Thoughts everyone?

I thought your price is fabulous!
I would add some great high res photos, including one of the AGS report.
Provide current pricing for that setting and a comparable diamonds.

You have a desirable setting and diamond-if anything you are priced low.
Include verbiage about sizing (if you know if it can be sized up or down).
Lump up the listing with photos and with more photos no on the setting and diamond—maybe links to comparable settings and stones? And refresh or re-list so it appears as a new listing.

Bron-good idea!
Can your jeweler remove the diamond?
If so, offer that as a possibility in your listing.

It's a beautiful ring. I think the problem is finding someone who needs size 8.5. Rings with pave on the shank usually can't be sized much, so I think that is your main problem.

I am terribly sorry to hear about the earthquake damage! Are you in Alaska?

Thanks for the advice! Yes, I am in Alaska... Anchorage to be exact and we were hit pretty hard....
