This depends on who broke the engagement. If the woman breaks the engagement, she has to return the ring. If a man breaks the engagement, she gets to keep the ring.
If the engagement ring you gave your fiance is a family heirloom (passed down from generation to generation) then she should give you the ring back.

== Answer == see onceuponatragedy.com she is taking peoples engagement rings for an art installation in NYC in December http://www.jewelocean.com - Some people put it away after they are married, some decide to use it again for a wedding ring, some take it to a jeweler to have it altered into a wedding ring (another gem, an inscription...) and some, like myself, just have the engagement ring on one hand and the wedding ring on the other! I enjoy them both and although the wedding ring is the symbol of the legal bond between us, the engagement ring is still a symbol of the love between us.
I don't think that there is a rule against it, but it is not common. Wearing a wedding ring generally means you are married, so it would be misleading to wear it if you have not yet had the ceremony. As for the engagement ring, many woman will only wear it until they are actually married, at which time they change to the wedding ring. But some women like their engagement ring so much that they wear both the wedding ring and the engagement ring together even after they are married.
No matter what the engagement ring costs once you have given it to her and then she breaks off the engagement the engagement ring is hers to keep (considered a gift.) Some women will give the ring back, while others will keep it.
Unless it is a family heirloom then the young woman can keep the engagement ring as it was a gift to her of the young man's pledge of love. A man who has given an engagement ring to his girlfriend and either one breaks up then a man should not give that engagement ring to another woman that may come into his life. Women would not want some other woman's engagement ring. If he still owes money on the ring then it is entirely up to you as to whether you wish to give it back to him or not.
