What do people usually do with their wedding rings after they get divorced? Do I keep it? Do I sell it? Do I melt it down, and turn it in to a bullet? I don't really care what happens to mine, but my ex just posted online wanting advice on where to sell/pawn her rings and it made me wonder what most people do with their old rings?

Sell it. You don't need extra reminders around.

well if ex's are amicable, find a young couple that is down on the cash flow and help them out.

I'd be afraid of jinxing them... That and not too many guys have a size 7 ring finger...

I kept mine. I figured I paid for it, screw it I'll keep it. It's in a drawer somewhere. It might take me days to even find it. But I damn sure didn't keep it for sentimental reasons! I do like the idea of the bullet.  But I'd be worried of what I might do with it!   If mine had cost as much as hers I would for sure cash it in!  |

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Sold mine for the weight of the metal.
Got about 10% back from what I originally paid for it 14 years earlier.
+1 for the bullet idea though

Plenty of options
- Sell it outright
- Consign it (mostly the same as above)
- Find someone in need and give it away (that removes the jinx you know)
- Pitch it off a bridge while riding your bike over it.
- Save it for metal for a future bauble.
- melt it into something new now.

I should add that I actually donated mine to charity but it was not worth a lot and I didn't need the cash.

For some stupid reason, I still have mine. Probably worth very little and I definitely wouldn't want to jinx some guy with mine. Out of sight, out of mind. Will likely dispose of it before I get hitched again.

Same here. Now that I'm reminded of it, I might try to incorporate the thing into some kind of smithing/sculpture project... The biggest problem is that it's far enough in the past that I don't think I could summon up the requisite artistic angst to do justice to a used wedding ring in art.  |

How cursed is the ring? If it's serious, high-grade shit, might I suggest gifting it to the Taliban? |

I can't believe I'm not the only one who had this flash in their mind. Or maybe not. |
