No. As long as you are keeping it and / or keeping it within your family as applicable. Now if you were making it into a pendant and giving it to another chick - then it would be icky and definitely bad mojo. It would even be bad imho to use in another marriage. But your past is part of you, and by making something new from something old - it shows you are moving forward.

A lot of divorced women get their engagement/wedding bands made into something else - different rings, pins, pendants, earrings.

There had to have been love there at some point, otherwise you wouldn't have married the person. So symbolically, you are taking the love (the ring) and making it into something positive and new for your new life.

I have my wedding ring on with my keys right now. I don't know what to do with it either. I guess I can give it to my daughter when she gets older if she would want it.

Take it to a jeweler. I suggest Rick's up next to Asahi. I'm sure someone else may suggest another jeweler. Tell him you want to make it into something else, but you don't know what and can he give you suggestions. A good jeweler will talk to you, explain what can be done, and give you some different design options. You don't have to do anything, but it may give you some better ideas about what options are available.

In her case especially I suggest holding on to it, or designing her something out of it when she's 16 or so.

Rick's took care of my old engagement and wedding bands....they broke the rings down into two pieces of jewelry that I handed down to my kids. (son and daughter) They love the pieces and appreciated the thought behind my gift to them.

Just as an FYI, I received some jewelry when I was younger that I never wore. I have since taken a lot of that jewelry and had it redesigned into other things. But it's more meaningful than buying it somewhere of the shelf, since it was in my family, and cost me a lot less since I was supplying the material. Also gold will always be a valuable commodity.

So, what do you do with your ring after the vows no longer mean anything?

My wedding band wasn't very expensive, and I didn't ever wear it, so it has no sentimental or monetary value to me. I have it in a ring box and it will probably stay there.

However, I do have 2 of HER rings that are worth a pretty penny. I've tried to sell them, privately, at consignment shops, to jewelers, no one wants them, so they too sit in a box. I have 3 nieces and feel it would be in bad taste to give only one of them the "big" ring, and I would never think of giving it to whomever I might happen to settle in with at a later time. So, I'm kinda stuck with them.
