Suggestion needed - old engagement rings.

(1/3) > >>

Stjarni:

I was engaged to my ex for almost 3 years. As engagement rings we chose two simple silver rings. They are engraved with our first names.

I still have them both in my jewelry box.

Anyway, it seems like I'm going to move in with my BF. I don't want to take them with me.


What should I do with them? Tossing them in the trash seems...disrespectful. And sell them, no, I don't think that is even possible.

Chartreuse:
Find a jeweler who can melt them down and use the silver to create a new piece of jewelry like a new pendant or ring?

audrey1962:
Could you donate them to charity? When my mother divorced my father, she donated her ring and wedding gown. Just tell them the rings are engraved and let them decide whether or not they would like them.

They look very worn.
Otherwise that would be a good suggestion.


I almost feel that some kind of ritual is needed.
Maybe throwing them in the sea?

Alida:
Melting them down would symbolize the end of the old.  Add something new to what is created from that to symbolize a new beginning.
