Most engagement rings won't bring anywhere near what a consignor wants, and therefore probably won't sell... (in my experience). There is WAY TOO MUCH Jewelry on eBay that sells for wholesale and less.
I probably would not offer it International due to the value and the possibility of fraud and you being out a lot of money.
Shipping in the US, probably the best way is REGISTERED.
That way it has to be signed for by each person that touchs the package.
And you can insure via Registered for up to $10K

Hi! Can anyone give me advice for shipping an expensive piece of
jewelry please? I have 2 engagement rings I am listing both of which
are worth around $5,000. What is the best method of shipping something
like this in the U.S. and Internationally? If anyone can help I would
really appreciate some advice.
I am used to using USPS but the shipping insurance is very very
expensive and they also don't offer shipping insurance to many other
countries. What are any other options???
