One day I took them off and put them away and haven't worn them since. What did you do with your rings after divorce?

After my divorce in the 1980's, my XH handed me his gold band and I put it with my plain gold band in a little wooden box inside my jewelry box, and they've been there, ever since. Weren't worth much when we bought them, the marriage wasn't worth any more agonizing over, and so they just became artifacts of a chapter in my history.

When my current WH was discovered to have cheated, I had a beautiful diamond engagement ring and a diamond and gold wedding band that came off my finger the same day. Put them in the little box the diamond engagement ring had come in, and now they are stored in my safe deposit box at the local bank. Don't see myself ever wanting to wear them again, or even look at them.

I don't believe anybody wants a second-hand promise ring. Some may try selling them, but who would want to buy such a ring? After all, it is your personal history.

Mine are in my jewelry box, too. Sometimes, I think about having the ring melted down and resetting the diamonds. Haven't researched it out, just a thought that passes through every once in awhile.

I sold my ring for the gold value. It paid for groceries and gas that week.

When the X moved out on D day, he left his wedding ring on the table by the bed.
I put it with my rings.
He never once asked where it was, or what happened to it.
After the D was final, I sold my rings, and his for the gold value.
