I wouldn't ask for it back, because it would not be worth very much. It is funny how the corporations have brainwashed Americans into spending a huge amount of money on a ring.
Where I am from, there are no "rocks". Only a simple gold band. It really should not matter if you truly love each other.
I can already see the women in this thread foaming at the mouth when talking about taking away their precious stones.
No need to bash women Dr. Earth. Its not just about the stones it is a lack of respect and its tacking and cheapa$$ to ask for the rings back.
You didn't need to give them back, IMO and I would think most guys wouldn't ask for them back either, but if you had reason to ask for a permanent no-contact order in exchange, then it was likely worth it.
The only time I think it should be considered is if it is a family heirloom and you have no children to which you would pass it down to. If you do have children together then it would be something to keep to possibly pass down to them. I have my grandparents wedding bands.
Other than that - what woman would want a ring made of tainted stones from a failed marriage to start a new marriage with - that's cheap and tacky. Trade in or trade up - but make a new ring from the same stones - oh geez.
I can't say I know all the emotional turmoil of every couple's divorce, but if this is a pee-match issue and dragging your financial resources and time with a lawyer and court and moving on with your life - unhitch that ride and free yourself of it. It may not be worth it. What would you do with it or them anyway? Personally, I wouldn't want them, but everyone has their own rational reasons for wanting things.

Yes I did have reason to ask him for the order.
Restraining orders are only for 2 years and you have to face the person in court.
A divorced spouse should also demand gas money for all the times that the spouse was driven somewhere.
