There's been an engagement with a beautiful expensive engagement ring.

The engagement has now been broken off.

My question is .....

Who gets the beautiful expensive ring?

Maybe it was a ring passed down through the generations, who would it now belong to?

Guys/gals would you expect it to be given back?

Would you give it back?

I believe the tradition is that broken engagement - give it back. Divorce, keep it

But mileage and details may vary

Let's take the value of the ring out of it ....same question as above.

It's got to sting more if there is a shed load if money invested in it.....hasn't it?

I'd probably give it back if it was a heirloom.

One of my friends was told to keep hers because he said he didn't want to erase the past, just not build a future. I thought that was oddly romantic.

I think if someone had cheated in me then I'd probably want to throw it back at them!

In the other hand I may think fuck you, you're not having it.

If I'd broken it off I'd give it back.

Engagement rings are given in expectation of marriage (verbal contract) so if that does not happen then the ring goes back to the person who brought it . - that’s why I believe should happen

Sounds a bit like he was trying to soothe his conscience!

I'd have assumed a woman would want to give it back rather than having a reminder hanging around (no matter who breaks it off), even if a pretty and expensive reminder?

I think he was but I still liked the poetic way of putting it.

If my engagement ended I'd probably give it back. It would feel weird to keep it. Like a dress that no longer fits, hired from a fancy dress shop and never returned. It would be odd.

If it was a family aireloom, then yeah I would want it back. Otherwise though, I wouldn’t expect or ask for it back. It was a gift meant for them that I wanted them to have so it’s entirely up them what they do with it xx

There is actually a law on this

If the engagement ends before a marriage takes place then the ring belongs to whoever purchased it

If tbe marriage goes ahead and ends in break up/ divorce then the recipient gets to keep the ring

I agree.

Because if one (or both) parties have severed the betrothal, then that split surely has to be 'absolute': I'm letting you go in mind, body, soul...and tangible possessions. Cherry-picking has no place here.

Yes, I agree - if you're going to break off an engagement, that's a nice way of putting it! Better than saying he's had a rethink and can't imagine spending the rest of his life married to her!

Give it back.....

If you have no interest in marrying the person anymore why would you want to keep it?

Keeping the ring just to sell it possibly or keep it out of spite type reasons and cash in is just knobbish behaviour in my opinion .

Give back, clean break everyone's as happy as they can be.

If it was passed down through generations it goes back to the giver and if its an engagement then it should rightfully go back to the person who paid for it, i of course wouldn't care about that ring because I'm about the person not the trinket

Its a conditional gift so should be handed back to the person who gifted it.

Personally I would expect it to be given back, irrespective of its financial value, due to what it actually meant to me.

A broken off engagement the ring should be returned.

He will have spent a decent amount on it but he’s been rejected so return his property.

If he’s cheated on you then it’s just spite that might make you keep it and for what? Sell it at a pawn shop?

I read about half of the replies and most imply a hetero relationship with lots of 'he' being thrown in ...... so I guess it's also implied that the 'he' bought a ring and the 'she' wears it .....

Funny old tradition.

Anyway ...... regardless of who bought what ... A ring purchased as an indentification that an engagement to be married has been entered into should be given back to whoever purchased it.

To my mind....... if people are so bloody equal rights minded they should BOTH have a ring of engagement and BOTH have contributed financially OR just bought their own OR just not have rings..... there are other things to buy.

BUT..... if the engagement stops give the ring back ffs....

Depends.

If the ring has significant monetary or emotional value to one party over the other... Then I'd say they should have it.

If it's just going to sit in a drawer and then sold for scrap value to pay for a weekend away... Well may as well be put to better use.

Id also run up credit card bills in her name that i wouldn’t pay and ruin her credit history. Cut up all her clothes ( even in her own house) and have 3 tons of horse shit dumped on her neighbours drive with a note from her saying - now keep the fucking noise down!!

Was given with love at that very moment

Either keep ,pop it in a box and it’s a memory of the happy times

Give it back and its journey ‘may’ go on to the different person ,or perhaps stay within the family

Tricky one….mind ,heart or gut feeling …

I would return it. It was given as a statement of love and intention, if neither was there I would return it.

The decent thing to do imo, especially if it's family heirloom, is to return it.

Erm, legally I think a person can keep a gift...

Morally? I'd return a family ring.

Although the idea of wearing someone else's ring gives me the heebie jeebies so that'd not happen with me in the first place. I'd rather do without a ring

If it ended badly and I wanted something good to come from bad? I'd sell it and donate the proceeds to a good cause

I've never been engaged but I think I would give the ring back in that situation.The engagement is over so I wouldn't want to keep it.

When I separated I gave back the rings and all the jewellery my husband and his family gifted me.

They belonged in the past not my future.

"My ex kept hers.

I told her in conversation that I still had the box and r the servicing book in the hope that she would say ah yes I will give it back.

She just turned up one day when I was out and took the box as well.

Alls fair in love and war. "

Forget the ring you should have got the keys back!

It's a gift isn't it!! Would you give back every gift over the time of the relationship.

Moral of the story is don't give a heirloom as an engagement ring

Oh this is a good question..

Who broke the e gagement off.. if it was the original ring giver they don't get it back out of sheer spite

Ring receiver returnas a sign of respect for someone you omce loved
