My (28M) wife (29F) wants to sell her wedding ring but I don't think it's a good idea

Our wedding was two years ago. I was blindsided six months ago when my wife left me and filed papers for a divorce. The reason was that she fell out of love with me.<br><br>I was in the process of buying a new house for us when she left. I lost a lot of money on the house and despite six months passing, I'm still catching up on debt that I accumulated from having to start over.<br><br>She suggested that we sell her ring and split the money because she didn't think a ring was more valuable than the money we could get from selling it so we could pay off our debts faster.<br><br>I already gave her 45% of our combined savings and I don't think I can give anything else at this point.<br><br>I want to keep the ring because I don't know if I'll ever get married again and even if I do, I think the ring is something that should be passed down to our daughter if we have one. I told her that I'll take my ring with me if she takes hers but she said she had already sold hers to pay off her debts.<br><br>I think she doesn't care about keeping anything from our marriage and I don't want to just sell it and use the money to pay off debt.<br><br>I asked her if I could keep the ring and pay her my half but she thinks that the money is better in our hands than in a ring I'll never see or wear. I'll use my half to pay off my own debt but I want to keep the ring if I have to pay for it.<br><br>What do you think? Also, does anyone know of anyone who used the same wedding ring for different weddings? How did it go over with the brides to be?<br><br>Update: I'm working on getting our mutual friends to ask her to give the money back but I'm not holding my breath. She predicted this and has used the money to pay off a loan with a 24% interest rate so getting anything remains to be seen. Also, the ring was appraised for $13k.
