It's the one thing no bride-to-be wants to think about. What happens if your engagement is broken? In case of the unthinkable, we've compiled a list of the proper etiquette for a broken engagement.

A ring that is a family heirloom should be returned to whichever family it originated. A couple that purchased the ring together should make the decision of the ring's fate together as well.
