What did you do with your wedding rings?

Husband and I separated in jan 2019 so can apply for a divorce soon (hurray!).
My wedding and engagement ring have been sat in my mums jewellery box ever since and are valued at about 2600 pounds together. I am so unsure what to do with them. A massive part of me would love a nice ring to wear on my middle finger, like eternity style with my sons names engraved inside but frankly I'll never be afford to buy anything for that amount. I wonder if I can sell them to a jewellers or have them made into an item. But then part of me feels bad and I don't know why. I have two sons and I dunno why but I worry they will be upset when they're older that I got rid. But I will never wear them again... surely they wouldn't want to give their future partners these rings.....
I'm rambling i know! I just wondered what you guys did with your jewellery items?
I don't know why I feel guilty around this. My ex walked out on me during pregnancy and put me through hell. I have no romantic feelings to him and no attachment to the rings at all! I've noticed ex wears his ring on his other hand now as it was bespoke and he really loved it. I would literally never want to wear these rings again! I suppose I am worried of upsetting anyone by moving on 🙈

I still wear my engagement ring from my ex. I’m not superstitious or sentimental, why would you give up an actual diamond? It’s not like anyone knows where it’s from, they just see a pretty rock.

Long time ago now... but sold them and went for a curry!
It was a very very good curry....

I've got them in a box at the back of the wardrobe(I have his ring too), don't know what to do with them.

I now wear a ring my best friend gave me 21 years ago and bought a couple of new rings.

I threw my wedding ring in the sea. Gave my daughters my engagement ring and eternity ring
