  • When a man gives an engagement ring to the one he loves at that time and they split up the woman in question does not have to give the ring back as it was a gift to her. However, if the ring is a family heirloom it would be nice of her to give the ring back.

Actually this is based off of your state's laws and sometimes, if it goes to court, the judge's verdict. In many states, the engagement ring is used as a symbol of two people entering into a contract to get married. If they do not follow through with the contract (no marriage) then the ring must be returned to the person that bought it. The ring does not belong to the woman until she is married. It is not a "gift." It is a symbol of a contract.

Conclusion : Yes You should give engagement rings.

Answer 1:

If he broke off the engagement, you can keep the ring. If you broke it off, you must return the ring. However, if the ring is a family heirloom, the decent thing is to return it.

Answer 2:

No matter what, no matter who breaks it off, diamond engagement rings or bridal sets should be returned.

Answer 3:

Answer 1 is generally regarded as the law in all states that I've heard of. One could consult an attorney if in doubt.

Not sure if it's the law but it seems to be that if the woman breaks off the engagement then she should return the ring, especially if it was her fiance's family heirloom. On the other hand, if HE breaks off the engagement then the woman keeps the ring.

Do you have a right to get your engagement ring back if the engagement is called off in California?

No, once a woman is given an engagement ring it is hers to keep, but many women would prefer to give the ring back as they are no longer engaged. Also, even if the man gets the engagement ring back it would be crass to give it to another woman should he become engaged again. If the engagement ring was a family heirloom then it would be kind of her to return the ring.

I believe you are asking if you can give just the engagement ring and not the whole wedding set. Please clarify the question, if this is not the case. Yes, you can give just an engagement ring.

Unless it is a family heirloom, then no the young woman does not need to give the ring back to her ex fiance. He gave it to her as a gift and it is hers.
