Family heirloom engagement ring from a failed mairage?

It’s beautiful! I don’t believe in bad luck but I do believe in new beginnings. My grandmother has a whole lock box full of old engagement rings lol I was like geez how many times have you been engaged?

I'm with PP. I believe bad luck only exists of you believe in it. I think the ring is beautiful, and I would try not to let superstition get the better of you.

You don’t necessarily have to think of it as a ring from a failed marriage. You can think of it as something from your grandmother in general. It’s a beautiful heirloom.
If you are concerned about “bad luck” you can place it in a dish with salt overnight to cleanse it of any residual energies.
Im not particularly superstitious but items, especially precious metals and gemstones do have energy vibrations and the salt does ionize it and can remove any of the “bad juju” energy.
Even if you don’t fully believe in that it can still make you feel better about wearing someone else’s ring.

I always wondered why some would pass on rings from failed marriages. To me an heirloom should be something that has a happy history. But that's just my opinion on it. Doesn't mean there's bad juju though! It's beautiful. Since you have it, wear it and give it a new happy history. 😊

Prince William gave Kate Middleton, Princess Diana’s engagement ring from her failed marriage to Prince Charles.

I'm in the very same situation my engagement ring is my future mother in law's engagement ring from her marriage that ended in divorce. Do I think it's bad ju-ju of course it crossed my mind. But I think Kristen is right if it concerns you that much find a way for you to cleanse it. But just remember that this is YOUR marriage, this is your love story not anyone else's. And a failed marriage isn't a failure and no one should feel that way.

View Quoted Comment Well people do that because diamonds can cost thousands of dollars, so it’s a financially responsible thing to do. My diamond is from a failed marriage but it’s worth over $5,000, so letting my husband give it to me instead of demanding a new one saved us money and I got a bigger diamond than if he bought me a new one, lol. We picked out a new band for it though so I feel like it’s new.

OP, wear the ring for now and don’t worry about it at all. But someday you can get a new ring if that’s important to you.

View Quoted Comment Maybe the grandparents don't consider it an unhappy history just because the marriage ended. They had a child from that relationship and grandchild.

Thank you all. I appreciate your responses. I'll figure it out. I'm not worried about a new ring. I just want the best start for our future and I would hate to hinder our happiness becaus of negativity attached to something, ya know...? But, it's only an object after all.

View Quoted Comment That's a good point. I didn't mean to come across as it being something terrible. I just didn't understand why people kept them after divorce. I would have pawned mine. 😊
