I sold mine and ended up dating the owner of the jewelry store I sold it to. I guess he really knew I was single at that point LOL.

My wedding ring is beautiful and I love it. Not because it holds any significance for my marriage. It's just a beautiful ring. And it was expensive, in my opinion. So I'm holding on to it. I can trade it in for something else when the time is right.

It no longer had any meaning, and I needed the money. Sold.

I was drunk, in a truck with two guys I met at a bar and tossed my rings out the window somewhere on I4. Not the smartest plan but it felt right in the moment and I really don't regret it

I had to pay rent. Pawned my ring for $800.00 Never looked back.. and I have NO regrets!
My adult daughters wouldn’t have wanted it. They choose extremely different styles.
Good luck with your decision.

Ours were sterling silver. I took mine and melted it into an ingot, stamped it with its element and purity, and added a ring on top so I could wear it around my neck if I needed a reminder. So you could say that it has now been 'purified by fire'.

I don't wear jewelry. Seems barbaric, to me to, expect someone to wear a hunk of metal around an appendage to symbolize something. Odd behavior if you ask me....

Caveat. I sold my engagement ring which was from a marriage that never actually happened. In hindsight, I should have given it back to him, but he was dumb enough to send it to me from the Air Force when I was 15, so...

Oh, so for you - sell it. No guilt.

I kept it. If I needed money, I'd take it to see what it was worth because I don't have any attachment to it.

I have mine, no clue if my ex sold hers or not but as I recall hers was a few grand and mine was $700. ... I bet if i went to sell it it would be worth far less... it’s in a jewelry box, not thought about in years, maybe I’ll sell it having seen this post, I can always use another guitar.

I didn't pawn it but sold it at a jeweler.

I pawned my wedding rings. They were lovely, but had no place in my life or wardrobe. I certainly didn't want to give them to my daughter. Out with the old!

When my late wife's cancer was coming to an end,I took my ring off when she closed her eyes and exhaled one last time,I've still got it 8 months later,not sure if I should sell or keep it,but 26 of the 27 years were good ones.

Jewelry has such a high retail mark-up and such a low re-sell value.
You'll probably be better off keeping them and passing them on to the daughters to save them the expense in the future.

Melted it. Poured it into a bullet mold.

Sold it.
If you go to a pawn shop, be prepared to be insultingly lowballed.

I still have my wedding ring because it's not worth much. I think the titanium bands cost less than $100 each. Can't even melt it down. I should probably toss it in the donation box. Maybe it's bringing bad juju into my personal life!

No vote. Within 2 weeks of marriage I lost my ring, I told her to take hers off. 19 years later we got divorced. The ring was a big thing for her. Never was a thing for me. I don't wear jewerly of any kind, anywere. If I ever get married again, there will be no rings, I do no labels or brandings. Not a marriage ring person.

I had the stones from my wedding ring reset into a pendant and earrings. i had pearls added, so they look completely different. i still have the engagement ring, though. i might sell it one day. probably should...

My last husband never actually gave me a ring. Symbolic of our farce of a marriage, I suppose.

I let her keep them. I was done.

Thank you for the idea

Never been captured so I've never had one.

Why does one have to be divorced? My late partner's ring was a problem. Her daughter didn't want it and I don't know what to do with it. She donated her other jewelry and other valuable items to our local domestic violence awareness group but the ring got left out. I'd hate to sell it so I'll just keep it for now.

My husband broke our rings wearing them while working on cars. They were long gone before the divorce. I had a diamond promise ring from a previous boyfriend and my husband gave that to one of his girlfriends.
