    what did you do with your wedding ring(and engagement rings for the ladies)?
    I LOVE mine, but I know it would just be weird to ever wear them again.

    I have mine saved in a storage box. I don't know why. I'm remarried and it's not like I'm going to wear it again.

    I still have my band in my jewelry case and I think she pawned hers to piss me off. Aw well I'm not mad she needed to behave like a lady. :)

    Ps I'll melt mine if I ever get married again.

    I honestly have no idea where my ring is. I really don't care either...

    Another question sort of the same.... As my wedding gift he gave me the jewelry to wear on my wedding day (diamond necklace, earrings,and a bracelet) again I love then but don't ever see wearing them again. Do you suggest the same? I'm only asking cause these are items I thought I'd have forever and pass on to my children, but seeing as IF I have children they will be from another man, I don't see them being interested in any of these things.

    haven't you answered your own question in all that?
    obviously it's your indifvidual choice...but from what you wrote....i'd sell it, donate the proceeds to a fave charity or buy yourself something nice. do something *positive*...:)
    Stay with me...

    I am myself like you somehow

    I sold my ring the day of my divorce. It helped pay for my divorce party.

    Sell them as well and treat yourself to something nice, a day at the spa, some new clothes, etc…

    Maybe I should wait and use the money to fund my next PJ tour:)

    i truly believe that the act of saying/writing something outloud...is somethimes the only clairty we need.


    i also believe selling all these remnants and symbols of your past and doing something positive with that $$$ for others, for yourself, whatever....will be absolutely cathartic.


    i also like what urbanhiker did. :D
    i am sure that was VERY cathartic!


    good luck!

    Yes I think I'm leaning towards selling everything I can.... A new start would feel great! If only PJ announces a tour... Now using the money to follow them and meet new friends would be cathartic:D

    My father makes jewelry, so I gave him my wedding band and he melted it down, added some more gold, and made a family ring out of it. It's way better now than it was when it was my wedding band, and the wedding band is still part of it, so it is still a part of my life.

    I haven't done it yet...just not motivated enough but my plan is to purchase another loose diamond of similar quality and have each set in 6 prong basket earrings.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    oh...if I remember your posts right, you do have kids? but I cannot remember if you have a daughter. I'd say give the engagement ring to her. I have my mom's engagement ring from my parents' marriage.
