I’m mad right now, so now is not a good time for decision making…but I’m wondering what I do with my engagement ring? Going back in time to my first marriage to Minime’s dad, we had very little money, so my engagement ring and wedding band had only sentimental value, no dollar value. I saved those rings for Minime to have when she’s older if she wants them.
Fast forward a decade to now, and Mr. Kat 2.0 gave me a lovely diamond ring for our engagement (not the ring I wanted, mind you, but that’s another blog), one that was not cheap. According to the law, it’s my ring to keep…but what the hell do I do with it?
Every time I see the ring in my jewelry box, it reminds me both of wonderful times when I believed that Mr. Kat 2.0 and I were a perfect match and it reminds me of lies, disappointments and dreams crushed to dust. After a day like today, I wish I could do something dramatic and spirit-smashing to Mr. Kat 2.0 with it, but I know that’s not right. I will wish him well even if he doesn’t wish the same for me.
Do I sell it for some microscopic fraction of what it’s worth? Do I throw it in the ocean? Do I offer it back to Mr. Kat 2.0 to give to his next woman because what woman wouldn’t love a pre-enjoyed ring full of bad vibes? I don’t know, I just don’t know. To put it away for Minime seems weird because at this pace, she’ll inherit more rings than she has fingers. Any ideas? Let me know.
I think you should make it into a different right-hand ring. It will cost you some $$ but you could make your own design and then have it reset. A new ring for a new start.
i took my engagement ring/wedding rings, and made them into earrings… yes-cost some money but.. i kept it.. hehehehe
sell it for booze and adult features on dvd.
works for me every time.
