I'm serious when I say this, I don't care one bit about diamonds. And if it didn't work out with a fiance, I would gladly give it back.
After breaking up with a boyfriend in the past, he sent me a piece of jewelry that meant something to him and he wanted me to keep. I sent it back to him. Jewelry? Jewelry? I don't need your stinkin' jewelry!
hmmm... I DON'T like diamonds... but I LOVE pearls... so no, I would not return my pearls/jewelry... it was a gift, yes? so why should I give them back? He is not giving me back the years I spent on him, the money he spent from my savings account, the sleepless nights... etc... so nope... I did not return anything but the wedding band...
Funny jewelry story (really, it's kind of pathetic). I was in a relationship with a guy for a couple of years; one Christmas I bought him a couple of gifts. Nothing lavish or expensive, just things he had mentioned he would like to have. We hadn't talked about exchanging gifts..I just got them because that's how I am. Well apparently he felt obligated to give me something. He went into the spare bedroom and came out with an unwrapped jewelry box. A beautiful necklace! I was blown away...felt bad for not having spent more on him and all that jazz.
Later that evening I was helping fix something on his computer while he was doing something else. Computer was in the spare room. Guess what was sitting on the desk? A smallish piece of used wrapping paper with a gift tag on it. As it turns out..the necklace he gave me was meant for his ex-wife, a gift from their kids to her.
I asked him, he admitted to it and I gave him the necklace back.
yup, I gave back an engagement ring. only because I called it off. If it was the other way around, I definitly would have pawned it
Well engagement rings are a different story depending on who calls it off. The OP just said diamonds tho, so that would be considered a gift IMO. And no I don't give gifts back. Nor do I take back gifts that I have given.
If the diamonds are a pair of earrings, bracelet or non-engagement ring - it was a gift. So no, do not offer to return them.
If it was and engagement ring and you didn't make it to the wedding - it should be returned.
If it was an engagement ring and it was a VERY short marriage - you should offer to return it.
If it was an engagement ring and it was a long term marriage - No it should not be returned.
Hate will always hurt the sender. Act with grace and you will never regret it!
I've never dated a man who gave me diamonds but I have hated some men enough to give them back the Taco Bell meal they bought for me...barf it all up on his lap if I have to.
