Well yours maybe in the thames but mines some where in a field in France.
I wore mine for 36 years and had to use a pack of butter to get it off
Was driving a coach down to Paris and just threw it out the widow.
So some frog will think they found a gold mine , they welcome to it who ever they are.
Should have said suffered 9 years of her drinking before I walked out.

If I were you, I'd use it as a penis ring.
Or a stomach staple-ring.
Or give it to my favourite ring worm.
You could also use it as an appendix-ring (around the base of your appendix. Prevents apendicitis).
Melt the gold and make Monopoly game tokens out of it. My favourite is the horseman.
Melt the gold and get it minted into a broche or pendant or tie-clip to spell the word "Memories".
Return it to the store you bought it at. That's what I did with the only diamond ring I ever bought for a girl. She never saw it.
Melt it and get a coin made of it, which says on one face, "phrase".
Grind it into powder and steal it into a gold-ring factory in your hair.

well i wore mine as a thumb ring for a couple of years and then had to have it cut off when i caught my hand in a ride at a theme park!! Still got it but its in two pieces in a pot somewhere.


That would make an interesting conversation piece.

You have no need to feel guilty about getting rid of it. I'm sure you have plenty of memories and photos of your time together, and as you have no children there will be no need to keep it for them. I think it depends on how the ring makes you feel. I've gotten rid of things that, despite having sentimental value to me, have made me feel bad every time I looked/thought of them. Selling it and using the money to buy something to start off the next phase of your life - eg. a new hobby you've always wanted to try - might be a good idea. If you're not sure, there's no harm in waiting for a little while, but I think things like that can often hold us back from moving on.

My God man...you got yourself a perfect "chick lure" and are putting it away in a box??? You wear that sucker when you go out. Married guys get hit on and have a lot more ease picking up women than single guys. Why? Because women KNOW that a married guy has something going for him, or else he'd BE single. Sheesh...Also known as "advertising".

Ok...on a serious note...hey...sell the sucker. Keep it for a momento, have it remade into a different ring...whatever. Pass it along within your family. do what you want with it. It is only a chunk of valuable metal, which can be bought, sold, pawned, tossed, doesn't matter. What DOES matter is...what is it worth to you. You are the one to decide that. I've known some that kept them and were buried with them! I know one who collects rings from broken weddings...pays bottom dollar for them...but has a fine collection of valuable rings.

Lucky you weren't court ordered to saw it in half and give half to the ex.
You could get her made a small token out of it as a good luck piece for her new career.

The day my divorce became final, I put it on the chopping block and whacked it with a large axe. Never loooked for the pieces after.

The first ring he bought me, I threw into the ocean when he cheated. He bought me a replacement. That ended up in the ocean too. If you ever find a ring with my name on it, throw it back.

Melt it down, get it made into something you like ^_^
Its what my mum did.

If your the sentimental type and feel you need to keep it, then do so, but im pretty sure you could do better things with the cash it could bring you to allow you to do something you enjoy doing ^_^

^^^ that is why i bought "replacement" rings. i felt naked without my wedding band. the new ring/s were never worn on the "wedded" finger, but it helped with the panic that i would get when i thought i lost my wedding rings

You should have sold Anni at least buy stuff for yourself turn the bad into good is what I say.


Hey anyone who doesn't want their rings PLEASE send it to me....I can use money to pay off my bills......or better still cash it in and give money to charities in your area.

What does one do with your wedding ring after a Divorce?
Keep it for the memories, or sell it?


I kept mine for the memories. I tend to run across it every few years now. It used to just be in a box with a few other knickknacks, but then I just threw it in the change jar. 99.99995% of the time I forget I even still have it.

Of course we are talking about a fairly cheap ring that was bought when I was 20 years old. If it was worth a lot of money I probably would have sold it a decade ago.

I added mine to the decor of my home and played can you find the wedding ring with my guests. No one has ever found it even though it sits atop my TV.

I couldnt even imagine selling them, melting them or even tossing them! They are beautiful rings, I have them in the safe and one day my daughter will get one and my son will get the other...

Have it re-designed into something unique for yourself! You can always keep the good memories of your marriage. You can turn it into a symbol of growth and a celebration of you!

I say 'ebay' it. Possibly with a terse description, perhaps a donation to charity as a percentage...is where my engagement ring went.
