She is now looking to move and is wondering how to go about selling it to help offset her moving costs.

Anyone have any experience with this? Where can you sell jewelry for less than pennies on the dollar?
When I was looking to purchase, I investigated this site: https://www.idonowidont.com/how-it-works

It seems that they attempt to be a broker for those who don't want to get skinned returning it to the jeweler or a pawnshop and to those who want a nice sale price on their ring.
"Typically sellers receive between 50-75% of the retail price for their item. Far better than a retailer, auction house, consignment or pawn shop can pay."

That said, I am not sure how quickly units sell, as you basically have to wait for a potential bride-to-be to have the same finger size and want the same type of cut etc.

Worth a shot perhaps...
