What Should You Do With the Ring After a Broken Engagement?

Jul 31 2008 - 11:00am

As disheartening as it may be, not all engagements lead to marriage, and it unfortunately seems that being on The Bachelor [1] lessens your chances even more. As many of you guessed, last season's Bachelor Matt Grant, who popped the question to actress Shayne Lamas, called off their engagement earlier this week and according to People.com [2], the claws are coming out as to what to do with the 2.85-carat Tacori platinum-and-diamond eternity ring she once wore on her left hand.

According to the article, she wants to keep it “safe and clean and in a glass box — like a glass slipper” while he thinks she should auction it off for charity so "something good [can] come out of this" — no wonder it didn't work out! While every couple is different, and each breakup is unique, deciding what to do with the ring after the engagement's over is completely circumstantial, although etiquette says the ring should be given back. So what do you think should happen to the ring once an engagement is called off? Who should keep it? Or is Matt right, should it just be sold so a greater cause can reap the benefit?
