I purchased a ring in 2000 after I received an in-store credit from an engagement ring (the relationship ended). The ring value was 450.00 and 2 other items were purchased along with the ring. The ring was given to my girlfriend (at the time), whom I'd been dating on and off for 5 years -- this relationship also failed, but the ex-girlfriend gave the ring back. I tried selling the ring, but could not find any buyers. I explained to a woman at the counter what happened with this ring and she said that the store only buys estate jewelry, but if I wanted, I could have the ring changed to a pendant - I agreed, and the ring was changed to a pendant. There were still no buyers after this, so I showed it to my girlfriend, asked if she liked it and said she could wear it as long as I would get it back if we broke up. She agreed that I would get the pendant back, and so I let her wear the pendant so it would have some use. Well, after a year and a half, we broke up and she has kept the pendant. I have the receipts from 2000 when I purchased the ring and the receipt when the ring was changed to a pendant. This was not a gift and was not given on any special occassions (birthday, anniversary or holiday). Would this be something I could take her to small claims court over? -- Sorry about the length of this post. I tend to be overly-detailed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you..
I have asked for the pendant back, I've written an email and I'm working on a formal letter as my last attempt before taking to small claims. Thanks again.
