as long as its not brought up. its not as if a girl looks up the worker that dug up the diamond to make sure he's being treated well, then tracks its movement through the market to make sure its not funded wars or terrorists. the history of the ring is bullsh*t.

The strange thing is that it IS brought up. Just yesterday she wanted to go shopping for a wedding band and wanted to know where he bought the ring from. Of course he lied and said Robbins Bros.

It's also really weird that she tries to show the ring off to me every chance she gets. I tried to act impressed the first time, but now it's just weird.

Honestly, I don't think she'd be that pissed to find out. But the fact that he continues to lie to her about it may be a problem.

This alone would be the perfect reason to tell her. Like the next time she flashes it like that, just be like "Hey, isn't that the ring I sold..."

She's just excited about it and obviously loves the ring. I think that's pretty typical for most newly engaged women. She probably wanted to know where it was purchased so they can get the band that goes with it.

I'm completely in awe at anyone who says this is wrong in any way, shape or form... are you people for real? What was the OP supposed to do with the ring, wear it himself? The guy who bought it from him probably got it at a better price than from the store, and the girl who wears it has a ring to show around. Does it matter where the ring came from? Is it anybody's business to judge?

Is your society so stuck up that engagement rings absolutely have to be new? man, at the rate of divorces and break-ups in the U.S., being a jeweler probably pays better than anything else one could dream of...

As a non-American, I can only shake my head in disbelief...

Well Anita, engagement rings are symbolic of a promise to share your life with someone. So, the knowledge that a particular ring wasn't purchased expressly for the person wearing it and was in fact the product of an abortive engagement, could certainly be construed as a deception by someone who takes that symbology very seriously. Generally when someone is proposing it's probably best not to discuss the rate of divorce or the poor guy who got stuck with the ring when his engagement dissolved. Again, the ring is a symbol so you probably don't want to share that it was a 'hot deal' and easily acquired rather than something 'just for her.'

Personally, I think it's fine and a cool chick shouldn't care so I voted for the last option.

Well as long as they are happy. 😉

Lets hope shes not paranoid about having a "new" ring. If she is... both of you better shut up or both or you are going to get it heh.
