I&#8217;ve been married twice, so I have  a spare.  When I was divorced, I chose to put mine away.  I know that some women throw them away, some pawn them, and some have them reset.  I didn&#8217;t reset mine because even reset, it would have reminded me of times I prefer to put behind me.  Besides, that diamond had already been reset once.  My ex took the diamond from a previous engagement and reset it for me.  Enough is enough.<br \/>\nI was surfing, looking to see how other women (and men) had responded to this issue.  You might enjoy this <a href=\"http:\/\/slate.msn.com\/id\/2060181\/\">collection <\/a>of replies to Dear Prudie.<br \/>\nWhen DH proposed to me, we went to my-sister-the-jeweler to order rings.  I picked out a setting and she went to Chicago to get diamonds on consignment.  She and her employees chose the diamond and had it set.  When DH slipped the ring on my finger, I realized that my sister had put the diamond in the setting SHE liked, not in the one I chose.  What the heck!  The ring is beautiful.  I refused to take it off.  Besides, it gives me something to rib her about.  She&#8217;ll be glad when my memory goes! lol<br \/>\nSo&#8230;..did you throw yours into the ocean, or have it reset for a daughter?  Did you melt it down and make a pendant out of it, or pawn it to fund a good time?  Or have you been blessed and not had to think about this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking about wedding rings lately.
