somewhat different context as we were actually married 10 years. when we got divorced the it was determined that the wedding rings (along with virtually all our other possessions) were community property subject to an equitable split, but her engagement ring was an individual possession of hers she brought into the marriage, so she got to keep it.

this was the ring my grandmother had gotten engaged with, so needless to say my whole family was quite pissed at her for this.
it was a pretty amicable divorce other than that.
