I tried, unsuccessfully, to sell my engagement ring on EBAY twice last year and finally gave up. People, it seems, are too leary about jewelry online...and I don't blame them.
So instead I'd recommend placing an ad in your local paper if you have something worth a great amount. Your last resort could be a pawn shop but those rarely pay well.
We have something here were you can advertise for free (called the Thrifty Nickle) and I'd considered there.
Another option for someone who just hates the look of the item is to have it restyled so it does fit your taste. You can often go to any jewelry store to sign up for a Design Show or look at mountings and get ideas for turning a cruddy ring into a cute one...or make it into a pendant or something.

PS. Killarney....you could perfectly sell a Tiffany's bracelet but I'd use your own picture so as not to get in trouble with the company. They may feel you're ripping them off by selling it with a copied picture of theirs. Whatever you do, be very specific in the description though!
