Not if I liked it which in that case I'd just marry the guy fulfilling my contract of the engagement then divorce him as the contract didn't state I had to stay married to him.
When my husband and I almost divorced, he wanted the wedding ring back. Legally, I think I have the right to keep it. Meaning I will win in keeping it if we did went through divorce settlements. Interestingly it's us talking about the wedding ring situation that made us reconcile.
Oh by the way the price of my ring is laughable as in pennies compared to engagement ring price in here $800k?! you must be sh-itting me!

Once your married the ring is yours from my undersatnding.
Whether the ring is $800, $8000 or $800,000, the ring goes back if the engagement is broken off. Like 20yrsinBranson said, it's a contract and the ring is the "consideration". Doesn't matter whose right or wrong or the reason for the break-up, legally, it goes back.
Legally, it depends on the state law. Not all states consider an emgagement ring as a conditional gift.
Conditional Gift States:
Iowa
Kansas
Michigan
Minnesota
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
Pennsylvania
Wisconsin
States Where an Engagement Ring May Be Kept:
In these locales, an engagement ring is considered to be an implied conditional gift and if the guy breaks the engagement, he won't get the ring back. If he doesn't break the engagement, he can request its return. Bottom line: If you get dumped, you get to keep the ring in these states.
Implied Conditional Gift States:
California
Texas
Washington
States Where an Engagement Ring Can Always Be Kept:
Other courts have held the belief that an engagement ring is an unconditional gift and so it doesn't need to be given back.
Normally I'd say she should give the ring back, but it's really really hard for me to feel sorry for anyone who spends a million bucks on gifts for someone they're dating. If you're going to throw away your money, accept that you won't get it back.

Montana
Interesting...do you have the link?
I like how only Montana is the only state listed where the ring is always kept lol
If the girl breaks off the relationship (unless it's for a reason such as he was cheating or beating her, etc.) she gives back the ring.
If the guy breaks it off (except for reasons as above) she keeps the ring.
Yep.
