PrintableI WILL say I think the Koreans have got it right though, when it comes to engagement rings.
When they get engaged, they give each other a gold band. It isnt until they get married that the groom puts a diamond ring on his brides finger.. I find that much more sensible than our way..  I will love you forever and you will never be forgotten - L.A.F.  | |

CarrieLee said: A law??? It's a gift! If the dude decides he's gonna give a ring he can't expect to get it back, that's insane. If it's a mutual break up then the "right" thing for the woman to do is give it back, but we're not inclined to do that. And if he's a dick then damn right I'm not giving it back, I'll throw it in a river right in front of him then give him a mask and flippers and say "Fetch!".
Amen  I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

girls, if your relationship went sour, would u really want to keep the ring as a reminder?
dont give it back to the guy...that way it cant be "recycled" by him
but once a couple are married, all bets are off- the ring is hers to keep IMO seems that i was busy doing something close to nothing, but different than the day before   | |

I can only afford a squrting ring. Would it be considered rude to give that as an engagement ring? | |

When my engagement broke up in 2004, I would've given the ring back if he asked, because I didn't want to fight about it. However, he was such as @$$ I wasn't going to offer. 
He proposed on Christmas Eve, so as far as I'm concerned Judge Judy can kiss my ass!  He got a sweater, I got a ring!
No, seriously- it's still sitting in the box- someone asked the question: No, I don't want it as a reminder of a bad point in my life. I have friends who have reset the stones into other pieces of jewelry-- uh, no... That ebay idea doesn't sound too bad, tho! "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

I got engaged when I was barely 19 (ah, young and foolish). I got the ring back and actually my mom bought it off of me. The Girl didn't protest when I asked for it back. | |

If the relationship doesn't work out give the ring back, an engagement ring isn't a gift its part of a contract that you and significant other is beginning. Just cause things don't always work out doesn't give you the "I'm going to be a bitch and hurt him/her as much as i can to make myself feel better" right.
That attitude just shows how childish one actually is. At least the other person got away from you before it was too late. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |
