A girl I know is possibly becoming engaged soon. The thing is, her bf has been engaged before and when he and his fiance broke off the engagement she gave the ring back. The girl I know had been talking about the ring like it was so beautiful ect. She said he tried to return it but now he can't get his money back what it's worth for what he paid for it, so he's held onto it (even creepier, I guess he used to carry it around with him all the time). The girl sounds like she was willing to accept the ring if he were to give it to her now! It sounds like maybe what will end up happening is he will use the same stone and have it reset. Idk, accepting a reset ring from your grandmother is one thing, but I would not be comfortable accepting a ring originally picked out and intended for someone else, no matter how pretty or big! So what would you ladies do?? Would you accept a regifted ring??

I think I'd be ok with it if he added on to it....like reset the stone and added two smaller stones or the band was something extraordinary but you're right...it was originally picked out for someone else.  It was meant for someone else that he previously thought he'd spend the rest of his life with and i SURE AS HELL wouldn't want that reminder.

I think it is the ring (band) that is the symbol, that the love is ever lasting, never ending, a circle... not the stone... But if he didn't change anything... I think... no...

i know a guy who did the same thing, girl 1 said no, so 6months later he found girl2 and used the same ring...i think the jeweler should have a better return policy if the engagement is broken, recycling a ring is kind of strange...i mean i know a ring is just a ring...but he chose it for girl1

he should just ebay that shit and buy a new one :)

I wouldn't want any version of the same ring he bought for someone else.  Now, he could trade up and that would be okay, but no part of the actual ring he bought for her.

Personally, I think it's lazy!  He took so much time to think of let alone BUY the ring for the first girl and he's not even going to give his new girl the same courtesy!

Now if he wanted to take the center stone from the ring and put it into a new setting, that's a different story!

Unacceptable! A regifted ring means it was originally chosen for someone else, I think every girl deserves to have a ring chosen especially for her!

i feel its inappropriate for a man to regift a ring!

i would feel so horrible if I'm propose to with a ring that was initially intended for another woman, no thanks!

I agree with PeaceisLove - every girl deserves to have a ring chosen especially for her!  No two people are the same and no two relationships are the same.  I would think that its bad karma!  I just wouldn't be able to accept it. And on a side note; if my bf gave me a ring that was intended for his ex and I didn't find out till late... oh boy!  All hell would break loose!  And of course I would want a new one... pawn it, sell it, give it to your mama, I don't care just don't give it to me! :)  

There's bad juju attached to that ring. Sell it!
