Bottom of my jewelery box, in a drawer, out of sight.

I've never worn any of the diamonds or anything else he ever bought me again, either.

My wedding ring is at the bottom of the Wabash River.

Had an engraved wedding band.

D-day...took it off and put it in my purse.

10 months later...D finalized...pawned ring and went to casino...played black jack...broke even. Threw chips in purse and carried around for another year...

Until ex-shat married stripper whore a few weeks ago...took chips and hit black jack table again. Had a delightful evening and left table with enough money to treat myself to an excellent, super ritzy steak dinner.

I took the original promise, engagement, wedding and 12th anniversary rings and had the stones removed and made into a beautiful necklace.

After decades of not wearing his wedding band, FWS had it cleaned and resized and wore it until the day he was cremated. I have that ring.

FWS bought me a new wedding ring on a cruise to Alaska with different stones. My original set had diamonds and emeralds. My new one had diamonds and tanzanite. He also asked if I would wear a wedding band since my line of work was not condusive to wearing fancy jewelry. We got a simple band made of tungsten steel which I wore.

I wore both wedding bands until I lost weight and nearly lost both bands when they slipped off my fingers. Then I wore them on a chain along with the silver cross he always wore. Now the rings/cross/chain sits in my jewelry box. The diamond and tanzanite ring I wear occasionally on the right hand.

yes you are allowed to keep your own rings and do as you wish.

My ex tried to steal mine. he said if I sell it HE gets the money. Bullshit! its a gift. I sold it and paid bills.

I still need to sell my wedding band which I love. Try diamond bistro.

Wedding rings are a gift to you, and belong to YOU exclusively.

I took some needle nosed pliers to my wedding band and chopped it up into tiny bits and threw them at WXH. He carefully gathtered up the pieces. He said they "meant something to him". He apparently keeps the pieces, along with his wedding band, on his nightstand.

I have no idea what to do with my engagement ring. It's a beautiful marquise solitaire. It's the only diamond I have ever owned, and I will not likely own another unless I buy it for myself. It really is beautiful, but it just seems poisonous to me now. I wouldn't wear it if I made it into another piece of jewelry, but I can't seem to get rid if it either. So it sits, in my jewelry box.

Mine are not worth very much money. I have kept them both for my children, maybe one of them will want to use or at least have them.

I was going to sell mine, I'm going to need the money. It makes me sad to think about it, I loved my rings but to me holding on to them doesn't have a point to me. I think it will just remind me of a broken promise.

my 15,000 buck engagement ring she " lost" and called off wedding two weeks later! red flag ignored! then my wedding band I threw in the sewer on D day. no regrets

Wow, giving the wedding set to the mistress after buying it from the ex wife. That's a new level of klassy.

Went down to the garage and used a pair of dykes to cut it so that the perfect circle is broken... the symbol of a broken promise.

Set it on the dresser in the exact same spot where she left her rings before she walked out (Oh yeah, she took her diamond when she left). I see it every morning.

Reminds me not to ever get fooled again.

I popped the stones out and kept them, but sold all of the gold and bought furniture!

One day I'll make earring for my daughter with the stones...

Sold his wedding band, my wedding set (the diamond was lost years ago and never replaced - think the universe was trying to tell me something? ), and the anniversary ring ring he gave me at 10 years. Used the money to pay the filing fee for the D.

I traded mine in for another diamond ring and a kick ass set of diamond studs. They give me joy ( and make my girlfriends laugh) every time I wear them.

I took his and sold it for the gold. I took that money and blew it at the casino.

FTG.

I sold the wedding ring right away. I'm still trying to get rid of the engagement ring. I have no idea what XWH did with his ring, nor do I care. I do know that he promptly replaced it with a new one when he married CommandOwife before the ink on our divorce papers was barely dry!

I sold all three rings ... and donated the money to a local woman's shelter.

I posted my engagement ring back to him.

Funny thing is it broke not too long after we got engaged. It is quite symbolic really.

(sorry edited due to a type-o!)

I sold mine !!

Why keep it.

I am thinking about what to do as well. I have an engagement ring that was pretty expensive, wedding band worth nothing, and then he gave me a diamond eternity band for our 10 year anniversary that is worth a lot. He was already having his affair at the time he gave me the eternity band, so I guess it means that for all eternity he will be a douchebag. HELLO??

I certainly don't want to wear either or give to anyone as they seem cursed. I think I want to sell them, but where is the best place to sell them to recover some of the value??

wow, slow hand clap to those that chucked their rings in a lake, river or any other giant hole in the earth. I love it.

I'm so cheap that I'm going to pawn mine and maybe use it for a new bed and mattress set.
