<prompt> Human: After dating my GF for 4 years, her expressing a desire to go to the next step, I decided I was ready to propose. Last month I took my family diamond down to my local mom and pop jewelers and bought a 1500 setting from a catalog there. A week or two later they called me and told me it was ready.Earlier this month we decided to take a break, on Friday we decided to not get back together. So now I have this ring that I dont need anymore. I took it back in and it wasnt as cut and dry as I was hoping. I was hoping for a a Here is your ring and Here is your 1500 situation. Any idea what happens next? What are my best options?nbsp;Edit: Someone asked for the story, and then deleted it I suppose because they thought it was rude because the mods deleted it. I appreciate the courtesy in deleting it, but I really dont mind sharing the story:nbsp;I needed to move for my career. After being together for 4 years, friends for another 4 before that, I wanted her to come with me. nbsp;Were both old fashioned, so in order to make that happen I needed to propose. That makes it sound like I was reluctant, I wasnt. I was very excited at the prospect of marrying this woman and spending the rest of my life making her happy. nbsp;The problem was that there was a bunch of things she didnt want to sacrifice for me. Things that would always take priority over me. Thats no way to enter a marriage. The only way we would work is if we make each other our top priorities. She didnt think that would ever change, those things would always be more important than me. nbsp;I can see the devils advocate but you wouldnt willing to not move for her, thats putting something above her. Ill be the first to admit that I am not a perfect partner, but even if I had sacrificed my career and stayed local...she would still love other stuff more than me. nbsp;Edit2: Thank you all for your advice, I am going to see what the jeweler will give me for it. If its reasonable then Ill sell it back to him. If not Ill keep it incase A we get back together unlikely or B A future woman is super-ok with me using the ring again.  <response>: Considering that you plan to keep the diamond anyway, you might as well just keep the entire ring and use it again in the future.
