I know you siad it's for the girls but there is one tried and true method of returning an engagement ring. Through the sitting room window sello-taped to a brick.

Sure what does he want it back for? It's only worth 25% of what he paid for it. Unless he's got someone else he wants to give it to.

if they were to be married and have now split up why keep the ring, would it not just remind her they broke up? unless she thinks he may get back with her dunno

an engagement ring is not a gift. it is an outward sign of impending marriage that is worn by the woman.

if the marriage is not going ahead the ring should be returned with some grace attached

As a general rule I believe if he broke it off, she can keep the ring but if she broke it off, she should give it back. Whoever broke the engagement gives up any right to the ring.sad flower

Legally, the ring represents the expectation of a contract being fullfilled so she has to return it! That's what happens on Judge Judy anyway!laugh
