Yes.
Etiquette (and common decency) requires that she return the ring if she breaks off the engagement.

Depends on what kind of ring it is and when you gave it to her. If it's an engagement ring, she should give it back. If it's friendship ring or something like that, it's a gift and she need not return it. The question is: why would she want to keep the ring, anyway? Weird.

That's really tough. I would appreciate it if she at least offered to give it back. I don't think she should believe it's just hers... you gave it to her during a different time, different circumstances. It represented something that no longer exists.
You were together, you gave her the ring... now you're not together, so things are different. Especially if she's the one who ended the relationship. So yeah, the ring should be returned.

Only if the ring was given to her on the premise that it would be worn symbolizing the relationship. If it was not an engagement or wedding ring, or nothing was said about the ring before hand, then it was a gift.

Tough one but i would say no - as it was a gift so its like saying should she return that CD or those flowers or that necklace just because it was a ring doesn't make it a different gift a gift is a gift regardless of the meaning, obviously it meant something when you gave it to her so why ecpect it back now.

If the ring was not given as a loan, but as a gift, you can't ask to have it returned. It belongs to her. It's hers to do with as she pleases. If she's a decent human being who has respect for the relationship you had, she'd return the ring.

I believe that if you check the legality of it you will find that an engagement ring is only hers after the wedding. If she didn't marry you, you have a legal right to the ring. It's an "agreement" so to speak and if she didn't follow through on her end of the agreement, it's yours.

honestly i wouldn't, it was giving to me during a relationship now that its over u cant have it back.
no I'm not selfish, cause if i gave my bf a gift i gave it out of my heart and even though we don't love each other anymore the gift is still his, asking for it back is like spiting on a memory. we might hate each other now but we didn't back then so why ruin a perfect memory.
what he does with what is now his is his own business now, and what i do with what is now mine is my business

if she dumps you YES, if you dump her NO
the ring is a sign of your commitment to her if she doesn´t appreciate your commitment then you have every right to have it back. check out the history of engagement rings, they came about so that it was more difficult for a man just to bed a woman and forget about her, the ring should have been of substantial value to prove that he didn´t just want sex. if he did just want sex then the ring acts as compensation for the emotional hurt.
