My fiancee just handed back the engagement ring. What should I do?

This is the third time she has done this. Every time we have a major fight, she just gives it back. It is a real diamond, was not cheap. Should I pawn it off, return it to the jeweler, what do you think?

    Hold on to it until you decide what you want to do with it. I sure as hell wouldn't give it back to her though!

    Chances are you would get more from the jeweler then pawning it.

    Keep it man. If she does not appreciate the money and, much more importantly, the thought behind it, either keep it for another girl, return it, or pawn it. It does not matter what the fight was about, she should not give it back if she gave a damn about the relationship. Find someone who appreciates you. Good luck, not too many nice guys left and this kind of drama is why.

    I certainly wouldn't give it back to her and I would stay as far away from a Pawn shop as possible as they won't give you crap for it. You're best off taking it back to the jeweler and seeing if they'll give you a refund or a store credit. If you get a store credit at lease you can get you a nice watch or something.

    Source(s): Bought a ring years ago for a serious bf out of highschool. we wound up splitting up so I requested the ring back from him and got myself a nice watch and a pair of earrings from the same jewelery store :)

    If the jeweler buys is back it won't be at the same price you paid for it.

    And you'll be lucky to get half it's worth back from a pawn shop.

    You could always try selling it on Ebay.

    You won't get anything for it at a pawn shop. Hang onto it until you know for sure it's over and done with and then wait until you find a serious buyer. Try putting it on craigslist. Be sure you know what color, cut, clarity and carat it is. Taking a good photo of it showing its brilliance is another trick. You will have to work at that.

    LEAVE. If every time you have a fight she hands the ring back, once you are married she will ask for a divorce. She has done this 3 times. That should be hint enough for you to walk away.

    Find someone who is more emotionally mature than a 16 year old and quit giving it back to her. You don't need someone who is going to keep playing games with you. As for the ring, pawn it, sell it on Ebay... anything will be better than giving it to an emotionally stunted child.

    SHE gave it back. SHE broke off the engagement. She made it over. Let it be over and done with. Permanently. You don't need to keep giving it to you so she can hurt you again.

    Keep it. Put it away and save it for someone that deserves it.

    If your fiancee was serious about marrying she wouldn't be playing games.

    If this is the third time she's returned the ring to you then there are some red flags in this relationship. You and she need to evaluate what is going on before you say the I DO's.

    pawn wont get you much, ask the jeweler if he takes rings back, of course you don't get all the money back i would assume.
