Dealing with Rings

[Tengu]

I had a search through my jewellery box...most seems to be inherited and I dont wear it.

I have wedding rings going back to my Great Gran.

And a few other nice rings. I dont wear rings; would worry my fingers raw.

Any suggestion as to what to do with them?

Im going to probably get rid of the lighter stuff; Im a chunky person and delicate jewellery doesnt work for me.

Yesterday I got a Victorian Scottish piece, nice stones, from the pawnbroker. They asked £100 and I wouldnt budge until they threw in a light (But suitable) curb chain for it.

Now I need a box.

Theres loads of good stuff on the market and a lot is sold by weight these days...very sad.

I suppose you could have the family ones melted and recast into something chunky.

You could find a local reputable jeweller , ask for a price and get them professionally assayed. Depends if you think they may have worth and what your end goal is.

Isn't the usual way to go on a very long walk and drop them in a volcano?

Tengu would need to venture through the ruined ash lands, passing scorched remains of civilisations long corrupted by evil, and there, amongst smouldering pits full of damned souls, may she cast the ring to flame.

Then again, I don’t think she’s that close to Hull so maybe she could try somewhere else.

No, my legs not up to it yet.

Nor am I going to use B Baggins advice on wearing. Not suitable for rings with stones really.

Though most of them dont have stones.

(Gran and Great Gran went for emeralds, interestingly.)

(Never been to Hull though I have heard they have a nice bridge and museum...)
