If you gave an engagement ring in contemplation of marriage and the engagement was called off by the other person you have a right to a return of the ring. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

Re: reclaiming gifts given in relationship

Under Civil Code Sec. 1590, a person has a right to recover a gift made in contemplation of marriage where the marriage has not actually taken place.

If you are having trouble recovering the ring, consider hiring an attorney to write a letter to your ex notifying her she is obligated to return the ring.

Good Luck.
