What to do with an ex-Engagement ring?
Unfortunately my fiancé and I decided to break off our engagement. Nothing particularly bad happened and there are no hard feelings, we just lived a long-distance relationship for two years and somewhere along the way fell out of love. I tried to give the ring back but he refused and insisted I keep it (he had designed it for me and made it using the gold and diamonds of his grandmother‘s ring).
Now a year and a half later I have a ring I’m clearly never going to use but also do not want to sell — it was from a wonderfully joyful if bittersweet time of my life. My best plan at the moment is to hope I have children and give it to one of them to use or remake. But giving a hypothetical child an engagement ring that didn’t work out also feels a little weird!
Any suggestions?
