Much as it pains you David I think the only way is to offer to buy it from her if that is the only way it will stay within the family, it does make you sad though doesn't it to think she would even contemplate selling it I have a very precious ring that was my mothers and I would have to be destitute to even think of selling it.

I found that my "dear" little sister had put our deceased Mother's engagement ring up for auction. She was asking a reserve price of $400 and thank goodness got no bids. I did email her with 7 hours to go and asked for a "buy now" price - which she ignored. All she said was that she needs to sell it so that she can put the money towards a new car! Our youngest sister is furious and is tempted to buy it. However, neither of us feel that we should have to buy what our father had saved for for months back in 1942. As Mum\s Executor it was me who dealt out the jewellery back in 1991 and now I'm regretting ever giving her a thing. What's the best way to handle this situation?
