What do you do with the wedding rings after your divorced?
Keeping them as keepsakes doesn’t seem to fly for philosophical reason of moving on, or what your new partner might think. Simply getting rid of them is a waste of potential money (of course if it was that bad ya might not care). If you sell them, what do you then do with the money you get from them? Using the money from old wedding rings to buy new ones for a current mate seems wrong on many different levels. And buying something with the money might drive the subconscious in carrying over any psychic energy from the rings to this, whatever it is you bought. Do you crouch in the corner rubbing it while you repeat to yourself, “my precious” over and over again?
Thank for the insight.

| If you dont want to keep them, nor toss them, sell them, put the money in the bank, and don't worry about what next item was purchased using that money. If you dont want to keep the money, donate it to a charitable cause.

| The gold has some value but melted down... where would I sell mine? The diamond was lost but I have the setting... I know I would never get anything if i pawned it...

It's easy:
You give them back to your ex and he/she can do what he/she pleases.
Wedding rings - before being a of jewel - are a symbol, plain and simple. When the marriage doesn't exist anymore, you get rid of the symbol. So you give them back to your ex and he/she does what he/she wants with them.
What did I do with my ex's wedding band? I threw it in the garbage. I certainely didn't want to sell it and have some money back over something that was dead for me. And what did I do with mine? I simply put them in a box and shipped them back to him. Case closed, not hearder than that.

| My husband and I are headed for divorce. He wears my wedding ring on his little finger to honor his 1st true love for me. I wear his wedding ring on my thumb for the same reason. We used to kiss each others rings while we were wearing them before. I find myself still kissing the ring and holding it to my heart at times. I dont regret our marriage and the life we had, I do regret that it went down the path to end. Truly I wish we could make us work and save our marriage, but time will only tell if our paths will ever cross again. We grew up together through school and never thought we would end up together. We have been married 9 yrs and have 4 children, so life works in misterious ways. Not knowing what the furture may hold for us and our children, the love we have may lead us back to each other in the end, no one but God above knows that answer right now....

I hardly wore my wedding ban to begin with. I think my soon to be ex husband lost his during one of our moves and I still have it somewhere in a box. If I find it, I may save it to show it to my Son or pass it on to him. Then again, I don't think he would want it for his future wife. He's only 10 yrs old. lol
I don't know what I'm going to do with it...but to me, it's just a shackle to an ugly past that I had with my then Husband.

| I pawned mine, but not for $. For trade. They give you a better deal cause I got 2 rings and a bracelet, and they moved a product. Worked out well that way, and i laugh when i type and look at my new jewelry.. and know in some sick way.. he sorta paid for it.

I bought my rings... bought the marriage AND the divorce... LOL I wont give him the gold back.
Maybe seeing what I could find in trade could help me.
Still sitting in my jewlry box on the closet shelf is doing nothing.
My new set is smaller and simpler but sweeter.

I have both my rings and my ex-husbands ring. I keep them tied on a string thats in a box in my parents attic. I have no intentions of getting rid of them (at least at this point) I will probably give both my rings to my daughter when she is older (shes only 3 right now) Otherwise My brother also knows that if he wants to use one to propose until his gf picks out one of her choosing then all he has to do is ask.
But lets face it. it's always a hard time to move forword and deside what to do with stuff that's your ex's or had meaningfulness between the two of you durring the relationship. Heck I've been divorced for 2 years almost. I still have a hard time knowing what to do with things at times when I run accross them. (we stored stuff at my folks when we had to move)

For me, it's only been 7 mo's. since the divorce was finalized...but I had my rings cut off several months ago. I did save them, mostly for the benefit of my children and/or future grandchildren. I thought perhaps they may want to keep them when they are grown. Another idea I had was to perhaps have the rings re-set, although I do not have any idea how much this costs. Hope this helps,
Shelly

| About 10 years after my parents divorced, my brother asked my Dad if he could borrow his. My brother decided then to get married with it and couldn't seem to part with it even after Dad asked for it back. Brother told Dad it was a good ring and deserved to go through one happy marraige and he was going to make it so. ( its been 17 years and my brother is still happily married with this ring on his finger.) Moms ring got tossed into the Atlantic on her honeymoon to my now step dad. She said after all this time it was the closure she was always looking for.
