What did you do with the ring after divorce?

[Nogoodwithgoodbyes]

I’m separated and on the road to divorce; so thinking about the rings is a distraction from all the ‘big stuff.’

What did you do with your wedding & engagement rings after you separated/got divorced? I quite like mine now but I don’t want to wear them as I’d like to meet someone new someday.

I agree- I don't see it as a failure when it produced DD. We did love each other, it went to shit, but in the beginning we both had hopes and dreams of a life together. That didn't happen (and not looking back glad We are not still together) but we have her, and she is loved and wanted. The marriage is responsible for her being here, so the rings aren't a 'sad' item of jewellery.

Sold them, he didn't pay maintenance and needed money.

I didn't like my engagement ring tbh so didn't wear it that much. I loved my wedding ring and eternity ring.
I think I will keep them and give them to my daughters.

Mine “disappeared “ . Have a good idea where they are now

I took three rings to be valued and they only offered me £80 (and my wedding ring was a pretty thick gold ring). So I decided to keep them and offered them to my daughter on her 18th birthday. She chose two but not my wedding ring. So its sitting in my drawer. 12 years later I might even think about wearing it again. Or maybe not.

I've kept mine in a jewelry box. I'm engaged to someone else now so I'll never wear them again but if my children want them they can. I did consider at the time wearing the engagement and eternity ring on my other hand but never have, they seem quite old fashioned by today's jewelry too!

Sold both of mine for £45 and bought a round for all my friends at the pub

I took mine into Oxfam.

First marriage - sold them
Second - kept them for my DDs as I thought they might like them

No engagement ring, but I've kept my wedding ring as it is very unusual and I have fond memories of my marriage. It's gold though, and I don't wear gold - maybe one day.

I may have dramatically thrown mine into a canal

I gave my first engagement ring to my niece as a christening present, she's 16 now and loves it!

My husband threw his wedding ring (previous marriage) in the sea.

Sold
Mine didn't see any reason in keeping them

My ex husband stole my engagement ring and used it to propose to his new wife.

Sold em all ... I am now on ring set three.

Paid for stuff for my kids

I've kept mine for the kids... it's part of their history and they can decide what to do with them in the future x

My mum offered me her rings as she didn't want to keep them and I didn't want them either so she donated them with attached written value by a jeweller to the local hospice shop so they could sell them and help someone in need with the profits.

I traded mine in when getting a new ring made, binned my dress and photo album.

In a ring box at the back of the wardrobe. I've thought about selling them, my ex wants to get all three rings(my 2 and his ) linked together for some weird reasons( he was the one that asked for the divorce).

Gave the engagement ring ( nice big stone) to my DD who had it made into her own ring. The wedding ring is in my jewellery box - a little memento of time gone by.

Just popped into my local jewellers with my wedding ring. It’s 18ct and weighs 2.7g and they offered £20 a gram

Anyone able to recommend a decent cash for golf place that will pay a decent amount?

Gold market rates are just over £27g at the moment it seems

£20 a gram sounds reasonable to me.

‘arsebadger!’

My ex husband stole my engagement ring and used it to propose to his new wife

Oh my gosh!

I still wear my wedding ring on the other hand, I chose it and paid for it and I really like it.

My ex stole the engagement ring back, he never admitted it though. Hope he got his new wife a different one haha
