Three Ring Wedding Set, Post Divorce Ring Toss!! ?
Q: What do most people do with their wedding bands and anniversary bands after
a divorce? Just curious.
A:I think this question has been answered before...mine are locked up in case
my only surviving son wants them someday. I think we should all sell them
and have one HUGE party!! :)
I'm planning on having my remade into matching celtic crosses for myself and my
daughter. It has enough diamonds, I have an extra ring I don't wear, and my
mother will give me some of her "junk gold" (old torn up rings she bought over
the years for this very reason). I just have to save up for the goldsmith.
Most people sale them, some keep them. My parent's owned an antique shop and
bought many that were read gold and jeweles. If you bought on the the less
expensive "wedding sets" they aren't worth much. If you bought an investment
piece, like I did, then you know what it is worth because they give you an
appraisal.
Some people pass them down to the kids, or keep them for sentimal reasons. I
still have the cheapo set from my first marriage. Couldn't tell you why I have
it. I could pawn it for about $25. I guess it's worth more than $25 to me in
sentimental value.
One lady I met in a grocery had taken her husband's three rings (widowed) and
had them welded together, overlapping, into at triangle - she wore these on a
chain over her heart. She still wore all three of hers.
My nse-ex made sure to take his ring, even though it was purchased "to be
handed down to the children." Which I take to mean that since the marriage is
disolved it now belongs to our daughter. It's worth $1200 or more, and he has
already asked for the appraisal - so I know he is going to sale it. I want my
daughter to have mine, but don't want to give it to her as
