for our playroom.
He gave me a gold charm necklace that I thought I lost years ago. My old bedroom furniture from when I was single is in our basement and DD was poking around in the dresser and found the necklace. I just had it appraised for sale and the trade in value is nearly $1600. (We dated for 5 years and he added a lot of charms to it through the years).
I've been trying to decide what to spend the money on and I think this is what I would really like to do with it. (I have no desire to have the necklace around.) My second choice would be putting the money toward a zero turn riding mower for DH. Right now, it takes 6 hours to mow our lawn--a zero turn would cut that in half. So that would be useful, too. As long as DH spent those extra 3 hours a week as "family time," I could see spending the money on that, too.
Which would you use the money for?

I'd go with the playroom. That's an awesome idea. Where do you go to get jewelry appraised?
We have a jewelry store but no pawn shop in our town (only places I can think of.)
I have earrings from a boyfriend I've never worn. We broke up right before xmas and decided to still give each other our gifts since they were all wrapped. So awkward. 3 yrs and then we never really spoke again. I have no idea what to do with the earrings. They are so not my style (again, after knowing me for 3 yrs!)
