I would sell my ring. I would not want any kind of memories. I would not want to pass it on because I would feel it was cursed.

Wedding rings should not be returned to the man. If you put up with his b/s for years you deserve the ring and a whole lot more.....

Wedding rings should not be returned to either the wife or husband. It was a gift purchased for the significant other.  If they part ways-do what you will/want with the ring.  For me, I'd sell it!

to be honest i dont know what i would do in that situation, i havent been married, i have a promise ring an ex gave me and we were together for 2 years, and i still have it... could that be considered the same? It would have to depend also how the marriage ended, if it was on bad terms i could see selling it, giving it away, ect... but if you ended on good terns for other reasons, then why not keep if you like it? like i said ive never been married so i dont know what i would do...

I have two beautiful wedding sets from my first marriage.  I will leave them to my granddaughters.  I was married to their grandfather for 25 years and I don't feel anything that came from that union is cursed.  I have three wonderful children and eleven beautiful grandchildren.  I've been Blessed!

While a few extra bucks do sound nice from selling my gold band, I think I'm going to keep it. I do cherish the sentimental value, although the marriage didn't last. There were lots of happy memories. Besides, the band only cost $50 in the first place. It's not like it's worth hundreds or thousands. If it was, I might would have to go for the cash! LOL

My wedding band was beautiful....a wide band with a cluster of diamonds on top, and made even wider by the addition of two diamond-studded anniversary bands on either side.  Sell it?  No way!  I had it made larger and wore it on the middle finger of my right hand, until it was stolen in a burglary, 3 years after the divorce.  Got lots of compliments on it.

I sold mine. It was really gorgeous, a custom piece, and the center diamond alone was stunning. A jeweler friend of mine had told me before that she wanted it if I decided to sell. Dam thing paid over 8 months worth of my rent. I might have kept it, but my ex really wanted it back. He even tried to get my daughter to steal it for him! I sure enjoyed the look on his face when I told him where it was.

people think trying to get rid of a ring is hard, what do they do when the tattoo each others names on their bodies? i never understood why people do that.

Sold mine,but my Mother took all the "things" Dad had bought her and had a cocktail ring made up~ 3 carats worth of diamonds,she never wore it because she was afraid of theft. The shame is she had this beautiful platinum and diamond watch she let the jeweler at...in one piece today it would be worth $$$$.Sometimes the intrinsic value of such is worth more than the amount one gets selling it piecemeal.

i had the stones from my engagement and wedding rings made into earrings and a necklace pendant.  since i took off the ring, i almost never wear rings anymore of any kind, but these other i wear all the time.  they're my 'freedom' jewelry.  still not sure what to do with that leftover gold band tho.  i dont know a thing about selling gold or getting the best price for it. 

I've done lost my wedding band and am still married!  Told her I couldn't wear it to work, what with machinery and all.  Not exactly sure how I'm going to handle this...
