If you got divorced at some point, what did you do with your wedding/engagement rings?

I'm wondering what to do with mine? They have sentimental value but what's the point of them just sitting in the drawer? I don't want my dc to use them, I'd rather they had their own fresh start. Flogging them for scrap feels heartless. What did you do with yours?

After he said he wanted them back , which was a massive cheek seeing as I bought and paid for them I pawned them

I sold them both. The break up had been my fault but he didn't ask for them back and I had nobody to pass them on to. We were both young and had married too soon, at least on my part. I wasn't mature enough and had just married as I wanted to leave home. When my mother ran away and left us we found her rings in her jewellery box. Can't remember what happened to them.

I sold them for the gold value

When I got divorced (way back in 1989) I got depressed. Went to the doctor to request something to lift my mood; he waggled his eyebrows and said "What you need, my dear, isn't available on the NHS".

Made me laugh so much that on the way home I dropped my wedding ring down a drain and never looked back! And shortly afterwards I got a toy-boy - but that's another story ..

Only had a wedding ring and I threw it out along with him, his clothes and his belongings. Best thing I ever did.
