Women who sale their wedding/engagement rings...

What do you think of a women selling her rings after a divorce?

I personally find it gross, but hey that is just me.

why does she need the ring if she's getting a divorce? I see nothing wrong with it. People divorce when they have fallen out of love and want to move on from in life, why keep something like that around when your trying to move on.

if a married couple are getting divorced, I doubt the husband cares what comes of the ring unless it cost like $50k or something.

If the husband payed for the ring then they should give it back to him.

I know a woman who had a fight with her husband and sold her $100 ring but then bought a $400 ring for herself when they got back together.

She should do whatever she wants with it. It's just a ring.ghoklebutter

You only give back engagement rings, not wedding rings.

Tricky subject...

Engagement rings technically belong to the issuer until said time as the contract is fulfilled (marriage).

Weddings rings, well, the contract has all ready been fulfilled, however some could consider it a lifetime contract. In these cases, both parties would have failed to live up to the obligations set out in said contract, and therefore the initial purchaser should receive the rings back.

Selfish b*tch....the right thing to do is to give it back to the man since he paid thousands for it.TwoFace-BS

Unless she put a gun to his head, he didn't have to pay thousands for it. And the giving back of gifts should be a two way street then.

Technically engagement rings belong to the male until the wedding actually takes place...Legally it is based in the idea that the ring signifies a contract.....after marriage the rings are hers to keep/sell...Omni-Slash

Saved me the typing, thanks.

It's her property now. She can do whatever with it, I guess. I don't care. Marriage is a silly ancient concept anyway. I live in 2012, I'm not sure I'm qualified to judge rituals from the times of J. Christ himself.MrPraline

While I agree, I do think if the wife is just going to throw a gift out or just get rid of it, it should be given back. Either keep it, or if you don't want it, give it back.

Sounds good to me if the divorce is amicable enough to allow it. I just don't see it all as black and white.

what a ridiculous sig, this is one uglyass dog

No, the ring was given as a gift. It's her property then to do with as she pleases. And for that matter why would the ex-husband want the ring back anyway? I know I sure as hell wouldn't.

errr you people realise this "just a ring" is likely to be worth thousands of dollars right? cheese_game619

*At least that's what I would do.

if i'm well off do whatever you want with it, if not give it back so i can sell itZumaJones07

Personally I would give the ring back. Not because it's "right" or any of that nonsense, but I just wouldn't feel comfortable trying to sell it. Why would I even want that reminder anyways? Other women might see it as being their property and thus do whatever they please with it, which is fine too. Whatever floats your boat., tbh.

She should "feel" obligated because she is legally obligated. The ring is given as a promise of a contractual agreement (the coupling of the two of them in marriage), not a gift. So if she accepts it, and breaks the contract, she is obligated to return it. Though, if he breaks it off, or cheats, then he's sh!t outta luck.Zeviander

I thought the agreement was to GET married as far as the engagement ring goes. Once they ARE married that particular promise is met. Otherwise what are the wedding rings for? If her wedding ring has to be returned to the husband, his has to be retured to her as well.
Not sure it's fair to qualify giving it back based on who ends it. If you think it's an obligation, it's an obligation regardless of the details. (Though personally I agree that cheaters are sh!t out of luck in many cases.)

My mom threw hers away :(

[QUOTE="ghoklebutter"][QUOTE="cheese_game619"] you people realise this "just a ring" is likely to be worth thousands of dollars right? its not a f***ing gift, its a symbol of their commitment cheese_game619

You might have paid thousands of dollars for it when you bought it, but it isn't "worth" that now. You'd probably be lucky to get 10% of what you originally paid for it.

The ring isn't worth that. That might have been how much you paid for it, but you're only going to get a fraction of that if you try to sell it.

If I asked a girl to marry me, and she said yes, then it's her ring forever. Why would it still be yours if you're GIVING her the ring so she will marry you? Maybe you should say, "Will you marry me? Oh, the ring is still mine btw, i'm just letting you wear it." See how well that goes over... The guy is free to sell his own ring. If you want the girl to buy her own ring for the wedding, tell her. Just because it's customary for the male to buy the ring in America doesn't mean that you are FORCED to. If you want to buy her a ring, great, but don't expect it back.God-of-Blood
