Hi RTL, please forgive me, I am mostly a lurker and have been reading your thread. I am curious if you ever did anything with the ring or do you still have it? If so, have you considered saving it for your D? I have the diamond my father gave my mother (they are divorced) and I had always planned on giving my S the diamond ring his father gave me to give to his future fiance/wife (I had plans to have my grandmother's diamond reset into a wedding set for me for our 15th anniversary). Now that we're split up, I still plan on giving S my ring some day, and probably his father's wedding band also if my H doesn't want it. I understand the ring may not mean anything to your XW, but maybe your daughter would appreciate it one day? I apologize if you have already sold the ring or if this post is just totally ridiculous to you. I guess it seems silly that I would ignore the rest of your thread and just focus on that one thing, but my wedding ring means so much to me. For a long time, after my H left, I had tied his ring and my ring together with a ribbon. Good luck with everything!
