Imagine when your engagement plans go awry, and your relationship breaks down. At that point, you probably are still left with a ring that you just bought recently, but are unable to get a buyback value even remotely close to the price that you bought it at. Our site hopes to be a platform to address that problem, by linking up buyers hoping to get a good deal for next-to-brand-new rings with sellers hoping to salvage the value of their rings that they no longer have any use for, resulting in a win-win situation for both parties.
To provide an affordable and safe platform for buyers and sellers of jewellery to purchase and sell their jewellery at better rates than they are offered at retailers.
In our site, prospective buyers and sellers can view listings without registering, but must register an account if they want to engage in any form of transaction on our site. Once registered, users can make purchases, list items for sale and communicate directly with the other user they are buying from or selling to.
All transactions on our site are made through E-credits. Buyers have to convert their cash into credits through our website, and use those credits to purchase products from our store.

As a husband who wants to get high quality jewellery below the market rate for his wife, I want a marketplace to make such purchases.
