Minimizing Loss on Diamond Ring

Hey all,

 

I purchased a diamond ring for quite a bit of money. Not for myself or personal use, but long story short it no longer has use and it seems I must either donate or sell it for much less than I originally paid for it. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to make the best of a bad situation here.

 

Is there any way a capital loss could be claimed? 

Could it be donated for a charitable deduction?

Anything else worth considering?

 

Thank you in advance for your time and insight
