MemberI was gonna say, if you have a 5.0 stone you don’t want I will cheerfully accept it!
If you like hearts, I’d make a pendant.
If you don’t like hearts and want to sell, I think that’s a ring for a very particular buyer. Someone who likes hearts and baguettes?
If you can’t sell it, do you have a young female relative? You could always turn the centre stone into a pendant for her as a grown up birthday or Christmas present.
MemberIt sounds like it would make a gorgeous pendant! You could have it set to be made into a single post earring or an end for another piece of body jewelry as well. A diamond under .5 carats would be really cute in a conch or cartilage piercing
MemberI would make the heart inte a pendant and keep the setting and put something else there like a sapphire. Like you I do not believe in bad mojo
MemberI love heart shaped diamonds (or any shaped diamonds really!) I would have no problem keeping it and turning it into something else. Do you like Claddagh rings? It would be lovely set into the middle of one. What about making it into a charm for a bracelet?
MemberI think you should keep it because you’re not going to be getting much for it. My suggestion is turn it into a pendant or turn it into a pinky ring like this

MemberYou mentioned a pawn broker/jeweler is making your new ring; any chance you can trade it in to him/her toward the cost of your new ring? If they aren’t paying you cash for it, they might be inclined to give you a little more for it if it’s coming off the new piece. Just a suggestion if you otherwise won’t wear/repurpose it otherwise.
MemberIt is a beautiful ring. I personally would wear it and enjoy it.
I have turned past engagement rings into right hand rings. The little amount of money you get with selling is not worth it for me.
MemberSince you don’t mind wearing it, set it into a pendant. It will make a lovely necklace.
MemberI really appreciate all the feedback
MemberIf you’re not going to get any money from selling, which is why your Fiance didn’t sell in the first place, you might as well make it into something else. It was nice of your Fiance to include you into the decision making process.
Memberyou’re tempting me I wouldn’t mind a message teling me what you want for it, I Love the side stones!
but if it’s not going to be worth seling, I’d save it for a young relative I think, graduation present perhaps? It’s a heart shaped ring, I think it could work for a right hand ring for a young girl.
