That's where we were, neither of us even wears jewelry but we had a bunch of the stuff we'd been given as gifts over the years. My class ring hadn't been on my finger in 30 years, and I had a gold watch that belonged to some relative (I have no idea who so there's no emotional attachment). Now that money is in our escape fund for our next move.
