Heck, with how hard it is to get men to commit these days griping about the diamond’s provenance seems a bit like looking the proverbial gift horse in the mouth.

I took back, no, DEMANDED back, the rings (more than one) that I gave her when she left. She didn't deserve to keep them.

I kept the rings(3 wedding bands and 1 engagement) that my ex gave me

I still have the first one....the second was stolen and pawned(along with quite a few other things)....I'm not sure what happened to the third one(lost when I moved to Ltown ??),might be in a box that is stuck in the closet....he never asked for them back and I didn't offer

See, now, I'd feel real funny giving a "used" ring to someone. If I showed it to them, told them the history, and they wanted to wear it, fine, no problem. But I wouldn't just give it to them as part of a proposal or something.

Let's throw a Southern Maryland style twist on this discussion...

Let's say you were married, screwing around, and then get divorced. Then you marry the woman you were cheating with because she does all the stuff your former wife wouldn't...

Would it be alright to give your new bride the ring of the woman you just kicked to the curb?

Depends on the circumstances of the breakup. Like APS was implying, if the woman breaks it off, most think it's customary for the woman to return the ring. If he didn't ask, and you didn't offer, no foul.

it's not customery for the women to give back the ring if she breaks off the engagement...it's the law. It is considered breach of contract. It holds up in the courts.

I think you should only have to give back the ring if you break an engagement. If you actually marry the guy, the ring is yours for keeps.

True. In my case, she had been lying to me for years, so I asked for them back just on principal. One of them had been given to her for Christmas after 15 years of marriage, so really wasn't part of a contract.
