2sunny Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I don't know what I am supposed to do with it - now that I don't wear it anymore. It's been sitting in the safe for almost two years. Any suggestions?
Zona76 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Some say reset the stones, melt the gold and use as a pendant. I paid for them and I don't want them I'd thought of tossing them in the ocean as a symbolic gesture. Then thought...wait... they're money. I can't use them. Wont wear them. So they sit in my Jewlry box. My sister after her divorce was short of funds to pay her church tythe and put her set in the donation box.
Touche Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I wear mine sometimes on my right hand. The wedding band is what they call an "eternity band" if I recall. It's diamonds all the way around. It's very pretty worn alone or with another ring on my right hand. The engagement ring, I rarely wear but once in a while will wear it on my right hand. It no longer has any meaning attached to it, so it doesn't bother me. If it bothered my H however, I'd never wear them, but it doesn't at all. So I occasionally do.
tinktronik Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I pawned mine. But if I were u I would save it for one of your sons to use the stones.
Hurt & Alone Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I keep mine in the jewlry box, one day when my daughter is old enough I will give it to her.
amaysngrace Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 My band is diamond too. It only has six diamonds but the diamonds total one carat. It's pretty. I had it sized down and wear it as a toe ring.

nittygritty Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I sold my first one to my mother to help pay my divorce attorney. My mother is saving it to give my daughter. My second one I'm saving for my son. I don't want a third one!
amaysngrace Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 the thought of my stbxh kissing my -ahem- feet - made me laugh! even if it's through the jewelry he bought me. Yeah that's kind of where my head was at when I did it. It's like he dropped in importance when the ring went from my hand to my foot and I hardly ever wear it, I mostly wear silver now. But I have the nicest toe ring out of all my friends.
Melovator Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Gave the engagement ring to defacto MIL, I have no idea what will eventually happen to it, I don't want it around. My mother backed over hers from my father in her car.
justice Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I donated mine to a battered women's shelter. At least that way it goes to a good use, instead of lying around being a bad memory.
Woggle Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I sold it and invested the money in stocks. It paid off lovely.
Trialbyfire Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Both wedding and engagement rings have been melted down and are now a nice pendant necklace. I pretty much wear it daily. My ex-H gets a funny look on his face when he sees it as such...

My ex-H gets a funny look on his face when he sees it as such... I bet the look on his face isn't nearly as funny as the one you had when you found out about his betrayal.
Lostgurl Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 My ex ripped mine off my finger and threw them across the street. He then grabbed a pliers and crushed his. After that he tried to kill himself infront of my family. For nothing but a petty fight. Never take the psycho ravings of a person with Paraniod Dementia Disorder lightly, especially while they are under the influence of alcohol. -- although, I had no idea that these were the beginning stages of this... He wasn't diagnosed until after I left him. I just thought he was an *******. I really didn't know much at the age of 19.
Trialbyfire Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I bet the look on his face isn't nearly as funny as the one you had when you found out about his betrayal. Funny ain't how I would describe it unless you find rage funny. At least now, my pendant keeps on giving, ya' know...
Touche Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Funny ain't how I would describe it unless you find rage funny. At least now, my pendant keeps on giving, ya' know... And I hope that's all you got from him that "keeps on giving"...if you know what I mean.
Trialbyfire Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 And I hope that's all you got from him that "keeps on giving"...if you know what I mean. That would be a good description of his ability to give, in certain departments. Food for thought...in times of need.
LucreziaBorgia Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I took both of our rings, and chained them together with a small chain and put them in my jewelry box. When my daughter is older, I'll give them to her.
Scott S Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I sold it to a metals dealer. That is, the one from my ex. I wear Gina's, of course, except in the shower, or where safety considerations dicate removing jewelry. ______________________________ If a man eats a pound of pasta and a pound of antipasti, do they cancel each other out, leaving the man still hungry?
GreenEyedLady Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 My XH wanted them and I was never going to wear them again anyway, so I gave them back to him...GEEZ he got my band from a pawn shop-YUCK!
Trimmer Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Gave the engagement ring to defacto MIL, I have no idea what will eventually happen to it, I don't want it around. My mother backed over hers from my father in her car. ... just minutes after she gave it back to him. Unfortunately, it was in his hand at the time.
