ALL of my engagement rings???? i only ever had one, which i kept because i wore it for 20 years....
i would not want to wear a diamond that was once worn by an ex, even if it was in a new setting...

Isn't it bad luck to use your ex's ring with your next fiance? I know I would want my own, and not someone elses ring/diamond

Yeah, what dumblonde said...All my engagement rings?
WhenI split with my ex I had 2 rings he gave me. He had 10 I gave him.
I didn't want them back and he didn't ask for them back.
My rings weren't anything great. I lost one and pawned the other. He still has all the jewelry I gave him.

I have only been married once and that was a long time ago. I lost him quite a few years ago and wore the ring for many years.I put it away a few years ago. Like some of the others said, I wouldn't want to wear someone's ex's ring even if it was in a new setting. Just my opinion.

LOL....well I have five, and a few other bobbles, I dont love the men anymore, but I still love my gems! Rarely I look at them, usually when I am looking for something else, and always brings a smile to my face.
Oh, make that six....I was very young....

OHT....
I know your thinking with your heart in wanting to make a special ring...however I think it would be a bad omen if it had part of an Ex's ring in a new setting...
For me I had to pay for part of my wedding set my first time around...I don't think I have it anymore...Now the second wedding set I still have not sure why though  Had been thinking of going to pawn it, perhaps saving for a rainy day ..lol Definitely want to forget the second go round......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Just my opinion......
Good luck with whatever you decide to do

If you have the rings in your possession, why not have a custom ring made for your new lady if you so desire..
Y'all don't really have any need to tell anyone where the stones came from..

My first engagement ring was my mother-in-laws from her marriage to my husbands dad..they were divoriced..I did give it back to her when he bought me a new set. She has it put up for my daughter to pass on to her..I dont have any other rings other than the one on my finger and if we do ever upgrade to a new ring I would pass it on to one of my kids...if they didnt want it save it for grandkids or be buried in it...I see what you are saying...I wouldnt have it a problem with a diamond that belonged to someone else..especially in todays economy...and its not the diamond its the reason behind the ring

And if I were the bride to be, with a ring set in stones that had already been "given" to another woman, I would make if very clear....if things don't work out....ALL THE STONES ARE MINE FOREVER!

My rings from my ex...my youngest's Dad...I gave them to her. When my husband died I wore my rings for a little over a year...diamonds? Are you kidding? Our original set was an engagement ring with a diamond chip and a plain band. I still have those but the band on the engagement ring wore through and broke.
I use to be a QVC addict and I saw a set of engagement/wedding band rings in diamonique and fell in love with it. You have to understand....I'm not impressed with such things as diamonds.... well I'm different than most women.
Anyway he got me that set. After he died one of the sets fell out and was lost. They have a lifetime guarantee but since I didn't need the wedding band anymore I exchanged it for a nice herringbone necklace. He would have liked that.
I still have the diamonique engagement ring, my original engagement ring and both or our original wedding bands. I haven't a clue what to do with them. I'll let the kids figure it out when I die.

By the way....if I was to ever get married again I will use my Mother's wedding band. It is thin and worn....it's about 75 yrs. old I wear it now with another ring that keeps it hidden so guys won't think I'm already married.
I would be very hurt if a man gave me a ring that wasn't purchased especially for me. Made from other ex's rings?  Absolutely not!

When I got married I consulted with my soon to be husband about our funds for the near future. we were just getting started and didn't have a lot of anything. we decided not to get rings and use the money for our future. Saving ifunds for our newly decided endeavors nstead of spending on inadament objects turned out to be the best decision. If I were to get a ring from someone I loved in the future I wouldn't want a ring or part of a ring that was used to express love for another. I would like to have one picked out for me or let me pick it out since I would be the one wearing it. That is just my thought on the topic.

I've been asked twice and tried to give the rings back at that time. Both gentlemen said they bought the ring for me to keep it. I have

I think you're going to find that many woman are not going to want a ring from one's previous relationship...
