When you split up, who is entitled to what wedding jewellery?

[lunavix]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not being money grabbing, but dh is adamant that my jewellery should be returned to him. Fair enough, if that's true, but I want to know first?

twinset - If i was materialistic I'd have married someone else lol he's fighting me for money I have which is pretty much nothing lol

sorry did not mean to imply you were materialistic, I was referring to myself. I married a twat for money and it went wrong and surprsie surprise he acted like a twat. I just chose not to keep anything because it reminded me of what a fool I had been

That is a nice idea TwangTheStrawberriesAreSweet if I was more rational I would have done the same.

Mine became toys and equipment for a children's playgroup.

sorry not sure from the thread titlre if you are already married or if the marriage was planned for the future.
if you are already married 99.99% of the jewelery is yours to keep barring unusual circumstances.
if you are engaged to be married then the engagment ring or other promisery jewelery will most likely be awarded to him but all other gifts are yours to keep as they are exactly that, gifts made to you.

I have had a bit of experience with engagement rings . First one - I was very young - we never actually got engaged so that stayed with him/went back to shop no doubt, second one - was married to him for 6 years, I kept it, third one (lovely emerald and two diamonds) I kept even though I called off the wedding 5 days beforehand ; current marriage - nearly 18 years - we didn't get an engagement ring until I was pregnant with DS2 (3 years after we were married) - then I "cashed in" the first two to help purchase the lovely ring I wear now! Keep it!!

Legally a gift IIRC

gavce myn old engagement ring to my sis who still wears it, did try throwing it at XP but it bounced off the wall

DH's ex 9and they weren't even together lon- 6 months?) tried to sue him for half of everything LOL, right down to the cost of football match tickets- that HE paid for pmsl, apaprently in lieu of cost of time. Some poeple will try anything (scarily she's now a Lawyer)

Can't believe he asked for the rings back!

I have kept my rings for what it's worth, but I lost the diamond from my engagement ring, a good year before we split, so I doubt he would want it back!
