Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

Interestingly, the answer may not be a simple one. Nevertheless, most likely, you are entitled to the ring back. A minority of jurisdictions follow the no-fault approach to the return of the ring when an engagement is broken. This means that the donor of the ring is entitled to the return of the ring regardless of who is at fault for the broken engagement. To my knowledge, this question is not totally clear yet in Connecticut, however, upon my quick review of the law it appears one can argue successfully that Connecticut may follow the no-fault approach. If we can conclude with more facts that your fiancee was at fault for breaking the engagement, then it doesn't matter which theory Connecticut follows, you would be entitled to the ring back anyway.
