What should I do with my ring from my first marriage?
For women who get engaged a second time, the question often arises on what to do with the first engagement ring set. The truth is there is no set answer and you should do what makes you feel best, but here are some suggestions. Pawn it. When starting over with someone new, there is really no need to hold onto trinkets from the past, especially if they are tied to painful memories. And since you are starting fresh, you might as well have some extra dough in the pocket. Give it away. Perhaps you know someone who as always admired the ring and would love to have it as an accessory jewelry piece. Give it back. Some women believe that when the marriage is over, the engagement ring should be returned. This is especially true for women who end the marriage and want to show some act of reconciliation. Change it. If your engagement ring has a particularly fantastic stone, you may want to use it in a bracelet or necklace piece. Many jewelers will take old stones and create new pieces with them. Keep it. If you are widowed or if you remained good friends with your first husband and look back fondly on the happy days of your first marriage, then perhaps keeping the ring is the best option. This is especially true if you had children with your first husband because you can always use the ring as an heirloom piece. |

sell it
sell it on ebay. don't sell till someone give you the right price - they will eventually come around.
Change it up
If you like jewelry and/or wear alot of it...change it into something you would wear. I think this is a perfect idea if your into jewelry, why not use what you have. You can get scrap for the metal and you could use whatever stones are in it to make a new pieces. Depending on the amount of diamonds in it, you could make another ring, earrings or even a pendant. For people who don't like the idea of keeping something so significant from a previous marriage then the best thing to do IS sell it. But if that doesn't bother you, make it into something you will enough. Why not right?

SELL IT!
I sold my first ring, even though my ex and I have a wonderful friendship with eachother now it just hurt to look at it sitting there in my drawer... So I sold it to a man who's girlfriend loved the setting I had and they are happily married now. Im glad my unhappily ever after was a new beginning for them

If you have children from your previous marriage, you could always save it and hand it down as an heirloom. I have 2 sons from my first marriage and have 5 rings from their Father that will someday belong to my sons wives.

I recently watched a commercial about a company called "you are better off without him" in which you can send your old jewelery in and they scrap the metal and send you a check in return. I am not sure about the details but I am sure that you can type that in a search engine and it should be able to tell you how to go about it and what the amounts would be in terms of the check you get back...good luck...
Ring
Out of respect to the second husband I would definitely give it away to the children or sell it. It is an intimate thing from the past that should most likely stay there. casino
If you don't have the heart to part with it forever
I didn't have the heart to sell my ring or melt it down. Even after he got engaged again. So, I sent my ring to my ex's mom knowing she would never tell him.
