Red Swan Jewelry Appraisers

They say preworn gems tell stories all their own.

Your engagement ring, for example, says, “Dude proposed, we sent 250 wedding invites, then turned out he was gay.”

Screw misty water-colored memories and let Red Swan take the offending jewel off your hands. The new Pennsylvania-based company trades old diamonds for cash. (You deserve.)

Much less demoralizing than being seen in public at a pawnshop, the process is simple and discreet. Slip old baubles into the postage-paid envelope, let the appraisers do their thing, and look for a check in the mail (usually within 48 hours of receipt) — or have it sent straight to charity.

You have ten days to decide whether to accept Red Swan’s price.

Then you can finally say, “I do.”
