I'm trying to remember the famous engaged couple that broke up several years ago.

The man (who ended the engagement rather abruptly) asked for the ring back and the woman promptly mailed the ring...but without the stone :smile1:

Once I'm given a "gift", it's MINE. I do not have to return it- at least in my opinion.

So while it may be 'proper' to return it, it's certainly NOT a must.

That would depend on the laws of your state and whether or not your ex-fiance wanted to sue you for it. It would most certainly be a must if a court ordered you to return it.

That's true. I think once legalities set in and things become ugly, the situation takes on a whole new spin.

Mind you, I don't reside in the US

I remember when Charlie Sheen and Kelly Preston were engaged, she refused to give the ring back. It wasn't until she became engaged to John Travolta that he confinced her to give the ring back. I think that ring was only 5 cts which was a big deal back then. BTW, Charlie cheated

FYI, I love Jen and her style

In most states the ring stays with the ex-wife. It sometimes is considered a conditional gift upon the promise of marriage. Once married, the promise is fulfilled and the ring belongs to wife.

I have never had a judge order the ring back to the man ever. Makes no difference who breaks up.

I've seen many girls sell their rings for cash upon divorce as they don't want it anymore.

This was initially the purpose of the guy giving the girl a ring, so she'd have some financial asset (at least one) if the guy dumped her. Although this was before there were a lot of working women, the fact is still that many if not most women eventually have kids, which stalls many careers (at least temporarily). It can be good to have the ring 'in case', especially in these days when judges have gone crazy (I know some women that have to pay men alimony. As if there's anything stopping THEM from earning a living). Seriously. I have a friend who just last week soldthe engagement ring--to help offset the legal bills from nuisance law suits that her ex is filing against her.
