Do you think that your children want a ring from the broken marriage of their parents? Will it be worth it for them? That ring is attached to a negative time in their life and even if they do want it and plan to use it, this doesn’t mean that the person they will want to give it to will accept it.

Here’s a story for example…

One client had received an engagement ring from his mother that was from the broken marriage of his mother and father. His fiance did not want to wear this ring because of its history. She felt that is was bad luck to wear a ring from a broken marriage. So he had to sell the ring and buy a brand new one. Of course to buy a new ring retail of the same size and quality as the old one will be much more expensive. Needless to say, he was very upset and would have rathered that his mother had sold the ring and put the money in an investment account for him.

Yes, your children will appreciate the money more than the ring from the broken marriage of their parents. It might feel like bad luck to have a ring with a negative history for a new beginning in their life.

Moreover, the trends fluctuate, and the choices differ. You find the ring appealing, but that doesn’t mean your children will feel the same. What if they find it too old-fashioned to wear it?
