Best way to go about selling an engagement ring?

I figured I'd come here rather than the OT...my hope is the number of condescending posts will be cut in half 
I wanted sell my ex's engagement ring and wedding band but I've seen a ton of different opinions on how to do it to maximize my returns. We broke things off a little over 2.5 years ago and I put the ring in my safe and hadn't thought much about what to do with them since until now.
I have a few home improvement projects I'd like to get done and with my savings and investments lined outta where I like them, I figured I should go ahead and sell the ring and band and see what I can get for them.
I'm fully aware I won't get back what I paid for it all (which is a big kick in the nuts, but divorce would've been a bigger financial pitfall so I'm ok with that). Does anyone have experience selling a ring or any suggestions on what I might do to get as much back as I can.
And no, no pics of the ex but maybe this chick will suffice:

I went through a similar experience 5 years ago. Your best bet is to hit the streets. I visited nearly 10 stores one weekend. Received offers from half of them...of course they all low ball. My stone was GIA and pretty good quality and got 50 cents on the dollar.

Start with the jeweler you bought it from, bring it around to different shops, get them to make you an offer.
By the way, not only will I not make a condescending post, but I will congratulate you on not acting emotional in the moment, and instead, allowing time to pass before selling it.

Keep and trade it in on your next engagement. Jewelers usually accept prior purchases from their store and put towards new purchase.

See if you can work out a trade for a nice Rolex, which would be easier to sell if you choose.

So if you purchase a graded GIA diamond and have the certificate for that diamond then you are much better off than any other graded diamond.

How much you want for it and what’s your location?

Haven’t read entire thread, but a couple of things:
Another site that deals in these sorts of transactions is worthy.com. Not sure if that is something you’d be willing to deal with or not, but it’s may want to check it out.
Also, if there are plans for marriage in the future, why not see about keeping the diamond and just selling the bands? You could always re-set the diamond in a new band at a later time.
