Can I keep the engagement ring if I call off my wedding?

Unfortunately, you never get to keep your engagement ring. I would love to say that if you were given this fat rock, that you could definitely keep the ring, especially if you're not the one that cancels. I had one girl that came to me and said, "you know, I'm not the one that canceled the wedding, and it was a gift, and therefore I'm keeping the ring" and I said "Number one, you don't want to keep the ring. I know you just want to sell it. So if you really feel like it is one of those things where it was given to you as a gift, maybe it was even a Christmas gift, a Christmas engagement, a holiday engagement, and you really feel like it was your gift, that's your call if you decide to keep it." Realistically, it's never proper etiquette to keep an engagement ring. You should give it back. Definitely if it's a family heirloom, you have to give it back. You do not have a choice.
