Who Keeps the Ring?
Who keeps the ring when an engagement is broken? Jewelers Vigilance Committee addresses the issue in this article. Who Keeps the Ring? “The invitations were sent out, the wedding cake was ordered. Mary lost several nights sleep over the perfect flower arrangements and even more over her dress. Then the unthinkable happened. Her fiancé Paul called to tell her that the wedding was off. While Mary was still trying to digest the news, Paul casually asked her to kindly return the engagement ring that he gave her. She gasped and almost fainted on the spot. Hanging up with Paul, her next call was to her lawyer, just to make sure that her ex-fiancés request was absolutely ridiculous.”
