To throw diamond ring away

[sweetpopcorn86]

I'm wondering...what did you do with your wedding/engagement ring after divorce?

Mine worthless so just chucked it I’ll be doing the same this time around as well.

I sold mine, it was antique and surprisingly valuable with deep red/pink Burmese rubies and perfect diamonds. I’d worn it for a long time after the divorce, but to continue to wear it once I was in a new, committed relationship, seemed disrespectful somehow.

I threw my wedding ring into the sea and gave one daughter the engagement ring and the other one the eternity ring

Pass on to children. This is what the royals do. The marriage may have finished but it was (perhaps) given at a time of love. Remember the good learn from the not so good.

Still got all of mine (married and divorced twice) but as they were all bought by me, not the husbands, I have the right to hang onto them and will possibly sell them in the future if my son decides to marry, then I'll put the cash towards something nice for him.

When we were splitting up my ExH took it and it was never seen again. I imagine he sold it.

If you're looking for the satisfaction of throwing it away, might I suggest selling it and giving the money to a charity? Perhaps supporting causes that he wouldn't like?

Not divorced but engaged twice before meeting DH. First ex took the ring back, I kept the second, it was vintage Edwardian so ‘second hand’ anyway

I sold mine and bought a new bed for me and my new boyfriend in our new house!

If you really don’t want anything for it then give it to a charity shop!

Sold mine for scrap aside from a 2ct half eternity ring which I still wear on my right hand! His Mother was gutted when he bought it as she said it was far too expensive so it makes me smile when I wear it. Malicious old cow!

Soooo my ex never actually gave me my ring back but he might do when the divorce is finalised....

If so, do you think it would a have a good resale value. Think he bought it for 3k

Don't have a daughter, only son

You will mostly likely only get a few hundred for it unless it has a reasonably large, good-quality stone.

Throw away a diamond ring?
Are you fucking mental? Just sell it like a normal person and if you really don't want anything to do with it, donate the money to charity.

First engagement - sold the ring. Didn't get much as it was only small. Bought food with the proceeds (young and skint).

Second engagement - he asked for the ring back so I gave it to him. No idea what he did with it (probably recycled it for his next girlfriend as he was very thrifty).

Third engagement - actually got married this time and we're still together 20 years later! My engagement ring is in my jewellery box as I rarely wear it (work a lot with my hands and don't want a degloving injury).

Sorry, posted too soon -

I'd sell it. Someone else can enjoy the ring, and you can use the money for something else.

A good friend had been engaged twice and married once . She took all her rings to a jeweller and had them melted down and fashioned into a totally new ring which was lovely .

I had the diamond put in a pendant from my engagement ring then sold empty ring and wedding band. Shame I loved the band more than him, I wore it on my toe for about 4years so I could walk on him every day.

Sell it and buy some shoes and a night out

I'd keep it for your son.

Or sell it and put the money away for your son.

🤣🤣🤣 nice

I still have mine in a drawer. One was a family heirloom I offered back to my exHs family but they told me it was always mine to keep. They wouldn’t take it back. Nor would exH. I’ll just keep it tucked away in my drawer. I have many old rings my own mother kept from her grandparents/great grandparents. I wear some of those now on other fingers on my left hand because it felt so strange and bare initially to not have my wedding rings on that hand.

My daughter wears mine, she likes it. I have another friend who got her remodelled to create a lovely dress ring. Or as some people has said, you can take to a jewellwer/ diamond merchant who will take it as a trade in for something else.

I kept mine. I thought one of my daughters might like it one day…we were both really happy the day we got engaged. I think Prince William giving his bride to me his Mama’s convinced me.

Sold them, wedding and engagement ring
