Dear Kim Kardashian: Save Yourself the Headache, We'll Buy the Infamous Engagement Ring From You, Says Boca Raton's Raymond Lee Jewelers

BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Many relationships simply don't work out.  Regardless of whether it's 72 days or 72 years... when it's over you know it.  And that's perfectly OK, but why be burdened by all the negative attention surrounding the engagement ring?  Raymond Lee Jewelers, the internationally renowned Boca Raton jeweler, has offered to buy the infamous engagement ring from Kim Kardashian. 

"Why would we buy Kim's engagement ring?  Two reasons, the ring is spectacularly designed by Lorraine Schwartz and it truly is a significant piece of celebrity history," said Lee Josephson, Vice President of Raymond Lee Jewelers.  "Why would Kim sell the ring?  Because even though it's her property, there's too much stigma surrounding the ring creating this frenzied tabloid fodder.  Why not sell it to us and use that money to support your favorite charities and repair your image."

The engagement ring heard around the world is a 16.5 carat emerald cut center stone flanked by a pair of 2-carat trapezoids.  It was given to reality TV superstar Kim Kardashian by NBA player Kris Humphries, in a widely watched romance and marriage. 

"We often get former brides selling their engagement rings in our store.  They are simply looking for a clean break," said Richard Resnik, Raymond Lee Jewelers famed Jewelry Designer.  "Memo to all men... when you give an engagement ring, don't expect it back because it is considered a gift.  Make sure you've made the right decision, because you don't feed a bear your sandwich and then ask for it back." 

How much would they offer?  "The exact amount depends on actually seeing the quality of the ring, but we'd estimate easily in the seven figures," add Josephson.
