After the couples get divorced, do they toss the wedding and engagement rings away?

I don't know what other people do and could care less to follow the norm. I still wear mine on my right hand and I think he wears his on his neck sometimes. The rings don't symbolize anything more than a piece of jewelry. I can't just toss it because it cost a lot and I don't want to sell it because I love the diamond and the design---so why not wear it?

Some people toss the rings to get rid of the bag mojo. Most people pawn them. I pawned mine! Now, if it’s an engagement ring and the marriage never takes place, the gal should return the ring to the guy. There was a supreme court ruling on that about a month ago- and it’s the right thing to do.

Depends on how the divorce ended but most sell their rings or pawn them, wouldn't toss them if you can get some money. Maybe you could give them to a friend if you consider tossing.

Seems like everyone would run to the pawn shop! That is funny!
If I were to ever get divorced, I would give it back. My wife gave me that ring as a promise of our life together, a dream that we both shared and should it be that the dream is no longer alive then the only right thing to do is give it back. It would be for her to choose what to do with it.

You have a few options. You could pawn them, contact jewelery stores to see if they'll buy used jewelery (that's what I did), sell the gold from the rings or turn the rings into another piece of jewelry. Depending on the type of rings you may not get much for them today, I would choose the last idea.

pawn shops are good. Or, if you have a child from the marriage, you can take the rings to a jeweler and the can make them into something nice you can give your child to say....the marriage didn't work, but you are someone so special that came from our time together, this (necklace, ring) is for you to remember that.

I saved mine so I can pass them to my son when he is ready to marry. Doubt he will use the actual rings, but he can have the gold melted down and have a new set fashioned for his fiancee.

I tossed mine out the highway. My husband left his rings hanging from a door knob at his old apartment.

We just seperated a few months ago but I still have mine. Think I'll take a trip to the pawn shop.

I sold my rings. I purchased my daughter a diamond pendant for Christmas with the money.
