Had a bit of a clear out earlier. Found my wedding ring. Given I've been divorced 13 years and separated for longer it's just a piece of metal to me. I suspect it's only 9 ct and is of no artistic merit. Does anyone know of a charity that might welcome it?

no ,why not see if there are other bits and pieces and see what you can get at a jewellers
My other half decided that the 18ct bracelet I bought her many years ago was not woth worrying about anymore. It broke on many occasions and caused her so much worry she wouldn't wear it. She lost it 3 times and still managed to find it. I knew the price of gold had gone up. So I told her to take if to the jewelers and see if it was worth a fraction of what I paid for it. She did and then phoned me to say he had offered her six ninety for it.
I said I thought it should be worth more than that as I had paid £250 for it. No she said ... six hundred and ninety pounds .. I was a bit bowled over and told her to grab the cash and run.
Before she left he offered her a little packet to collect any odd earings, broken chains or anything else that she may think was gold.
She arrived home and went through everything and gathered up all the odd bits she had kicking around.
She had enough odd earings, worn through rings and broken skinny chains to not quite fill a table spoon. Most 9ct .. the following day she came back with another £700.
Dont knock it !
indeed that is what i did, sold bits and pieces and came away with 250 quid..
If you want to donate to charity, the Alzheimer's society collect old, broken and unwanted jewellery. If you go on their website you can send for a free postage envelope.
Plenty of pawn shops will buy it then you can donate to any charity you like
Have you noticed how many charities only want £2 up to £15 on the telly
Red, these charities are getting beyond a joke with their ads, Red Cross takes some beating with their bloody cheek of £19.50
How about donating it to

Talbotdoesn'tliketotalkaboutallhischaritywork.org

All donations gratefully received.
"T" I give enough to charities, does it cost them to advertise? if so they want to send that money to charity & stop playing on peoples sympathy.
