I admit I was just assuming. I just don't see any logical reason to keep a wedding ring for a marriage that no longer exists, except for the example you gave where someone had their ring re-made into a necklace.
Waiting for the value to come back up a little bit. Right now they're worthless rocks and metal. Should the world economy recover (HA!) and the jewelry families fool most of the world into believing that diamonds are scarce, I'll sell them. In the meantime, I have the appraisals which are helpful should I require credit.

I have done something like that before, what it meant to me was closure... meaning, I am done with you, please leave me alone.... so I guess, my advice is to leave it alone...

I agree with Childfree here. If you really do not want her back, don't contact her, and let it be. There could be many reasons why she did this, but chances are, she did it to hurt you in some way (this was a special unique gift you MADE for her, so definitely had a lot of meaning to you) to get even at you for turning her down. Even if it's just a ploy to get you to contact her, it's giving her a chance to get back into your life again. Just ask yourself if that's what you want.

I am inclined to believe that she wants to get a reaction as I received a text message today from her asking me to read some article about health. The article is not significant of anything, I think its just her way of acting everything is normal and cool.

I am generally a polite person. Should I just respond to her with simple "thank you"?

No. Delete her text messages and her number. If you can, block her number. She has you thinking everytime she contacts you which is exactly where she wants you. Now's not the time to worry about how she sees you. Now's the time to show you can look out for your own happiness the way she did for hers.

Block her number and IP address, and don't talk to her again. That usually works. I know cause that's what my ex did, and I didn't even cheat on him. Lol.

You think I should go that far? She doesn't contact me that much. One think I've learned thogh is that you won't believe how unattractive, even a beautiful person will become to look when they are ugly on the inside. I am not likely to fall for her again.

She may be fine as a distant friend! Look at yourself 20 years down the road. Would you wonder how she is doing even if you say now that you wouldn't care. Usually someone cheating on you is a last straw though. I know that I wished I stayed in contact with almost everyone that I went out with when I was younger. Yeah, you split up for a variety of different reasons but you obviously valued them to go out with them in the first place.

Anyway, gold is at an all time high. Keep it, Cash it in or give it as a present down the road to someone else! I have given out a lot of jewerly in my time and I still do. Have not gotten one piece back and never expect to. I see some old girlfriend pulling out a necklace or bracelet out of her jewerly box every so often saying "I wonder what ever happened to LS Jaun, he sure was a interesting guy!"

I received a package in the mail today (with no note). She had sent back to me a gold heart jewelry that I had designed for her. I am not sure why she sent only this gift and not any other gifts that I had given her over the years.

Any ideas? should I contact her and ask her why she did that, or let it go?
It was the most personal gift that you had given her. She wanted to hurt you. let it go.

You know why she did it, an attempt to open up communication again.

Pawn it or give it to a charity and keep on movin' on.
