Married At First Sight bride Jaimie Gardner drops the price of her $16,000 wedding ring to just $1000 as she desperately tries to sell it off – but it’s all for a good cause
Jaimie Gardner failed to find love the new season of Married At First Sight, and now she is struggling to sell off her wedding ring, too.
The 35-year-old former MAFS bride listed her $16,200 gold and diamond sparkler for auction on eBay, but was forced to lower the starting bid to $1000.
The incentive seems to be working, as the current bid on the ring is $2,750, up from the starting price, with the auction closing at 8pm on Monday.

She explained in an Instagram post: ‘PSA: HELP ME DO SOMETHING GOOD. I’ve amended the opening big to $1k.
‘This hand-crafted, one of a kind diamond ring can be yours. The ring is made by Pavection, designed by Robert Bellamy and is valued at $16.2k AUD. 100% of the proceeds go to charities close to my heart.’
Jaimie first revealed she was selling the ring in an Instagram post earlier in the week.
