What to do with the rings(divorced)?

I'm just now starting the separation process so I'm going to hang onto my rings. They're still sentimental to me right now. I can't imagine getting rid of them because, even though our marriage ultimately ended in divorce, we still had 15 years together and some great times. Plus, one of my girls may want my engagement ring one day.

When I got the phone call from my solicitor announcing the divorce was final, I was within sight of my church. I literally ran to God. I cried a while. On my way out, I removed my rings, wrapped them in a 20-pound banknote and dropped it into the poor box.
Perhaps give your rings to your pastor or to a women's shelter as a donation.
God bless


I pawned mine the day I left. I got more than we bought them for because he guy was a schmuck and trying to get my number. Lol.

I'm not divorced, but I did end an engagement 20 years ago. Since I had paid for the majority of the ring set we got (I was making more money than my then fiance was), I had intended to take the entire set to sell it, but my mom ended up giving him part of the set. I pawned my rings and only got $10-$20 for them (they weren't expensive rings, but they were worth more than that, ugh). I was rather ticked off about it. So whatever you do, I wouldn't go to a pawn shop. Any jeweler should be able to appraise the ring for you (which is what I would have done with mine if I had known better).
