I am sorry to hear that your engagement did not work out. If he does not want it back, he is probably hoping maybe that you will change your mind. If you do not want the ring, then I would tell him that he either needs to take it back or maybe you can sell it or give it to someone you know that can not afford to buy a ring for their loved one.

I would pawn it for cash or I would give it to a friend if they wanted it. You could also put it into a jewelry box and just keep it for a while. Is there a chance you may get back together with the other person? I would just hold onto it and think about it for a while. You may not want to get rid of it after all.

Please don't throw it away, you can always give it tome so I can sell it!LoL
You can give to a relative of yours, a friend who are very dear to you or maybe sell it and donate the money to a charity. These are just some of the things that came out of my mind. I can't think of any good reason, for you to not keep it..

Hold on to the ring for a couple of years Jemina. I'm sorry things didn't work out but we never know what tomorrow brings. Put it somewhere that you won't have to see it if the sight of it hurts you. If after a couple of years you two don't either get back together or he doens't ask for the ring back then get rid of it if you still want to. You shouldn't make this kind of decision now. Let yourself grieve the loss of the relationship first and then decide what you would like to do with the ring. Hugs for you.

If you were in love with him, it would probably be better for you to sell the ring and do something (whether charity or a vacation) with the procedes. If you weren't in love with him (I say this because I was once engaged to someone I did not love - just didn't want to say no and hurt his feelings - stupid eh) have the diamond made into another piece of jewelry and enjoy it. Lots of luck.

Turn the ring into something else like a pendant or something that you can wear. But if it reminds you too much of a time you want to try and forget, I would get rid of the ring. Sell it and use the money for a good cause.

Put it up for auction on eBay and make a little money off of it!!!! If you don't want to do that, take it to a local pawn shop.

Make sure he doesn't want it back. If he still doesn't want it back, sell the ring.
