I picked out this ring for our 25th anniversay...The one of my dreams...In fact my daughter had always said MOM can I have your ring when you die? I said of course..<P>Well now I haven't worn it ( tried while he was home) but took it off again after he left.<P>Tried it back on the other day when he said he wanted to come home...felt very foreign ...so I put it away again....<P>Surprise!!! H called me this morning sounded like his old self....so maybe just maybe HE will be the one to slip it BACK on my finger once again....IF not and my daughter still wants it( I doubt it) she can have it some day....<P>Tyra

Jamie Lee,<P>My ex had the diamonds made made into a necklace and ear rings. Believe it or not, my wedding band is still in the jewelry box where it was placed the day it came off. Hasn't been out of the box since.<P>I'm glad the ex didn't pawn the set. But I don't know why. <P>Bumper

I still have my rings in my dresser drawer. My x gave me a new engagement ring back in Sept. 99 and I have the receipt for the ring. I've thought about calling the store several times to see if I can exchange it for something else. But, for some reason, I never make the call. So, it probably means I will keep it but I don't know why. What does it symbolize now?<P>

Hi Jamie-Lee,<P>I was married before. In my first marriage, I had a 1.3 diamond solitaire and also a diamond ring guard. I gave the diamond to my Mom and she had it re-set in another setting for herself. I also gave her the ring guard, but I have no idea what she did with it.<P>If I had kept the solitaire, I probably would have had it set in a pendant. But the reason why I got rid of it was because it bothered my current husband that I still had it.

Hi Jamie Lee,<BR>Interesting question! I'll come back to read all the replies later as I don't have a lot of time.<P>Right now, mine is in my jewelry box. I will keep it for now. I actually lost it for a while and had to really search to find it!<P>Hope your doing well,<BR>Dana<BR>

PS My ex's is still in the console of his car, I saw it when I leaned in to give the baby a kiss. Actually the car is still in my name, but it has a sign in the window that says Ex and OW (their names airbrushed) and OW's picture in it. Its kind of odd to keep the wedding ring in there , don't ya think? lol<BR>Hugs, Dana<BR>

My XH moved back with me - see my post (XH moved back, no sex, no ring. Anyway, he has not found a job since July?? Only unemployment checks. So I pay most of the bills. He needed money for his car payment. He does not know how I got the money. When we divorced a year ago I asked if he wanted my ring back. He said no. I asked to have his ring back because he broke our marriage vows. It just about killed him to return it, but he did.<BR>

I'm thinking about pawning mine. Maybe I'll get a sub at Quiznos with the money.

Wow, I was wondering this same thing.<P>My x left his on my bathroom countertop. I have all of the rings and they just sit. My MIL told me she had hers made into another piece of jewelry, which seems to be what most people seem to lean toward. I love my rings and it makes me sad that I'll never wear them again.<P>I have another questions, ladies:<P>What have you done with your wedding dress? My MIL said she burned hers in the fireplace. I don't think I could go that far, but why let it take up space. I would never pass it down to a child or grandchild because I would feel like I'm passing on a curse or something (I guess I feel the same about my rings). What to do??<P><P>------------------<BR><BR>Kathy
