Yes the girl keeps it. It is considered a gift.
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.

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.
Typically, an engagement ring is considered a gift. However, if the recipient of the ring breaks off the engagement the ring is usually returned. If the giver of the ring breaks off the engagement the ring is usually not returned and considered a form of apology.
Good question. Women are NOT supposed to keep the rings in the first place!
* In all Western countries if a man gives an engagement ring and breaks up with her then she can keep the ring as it was a gift to her. However, if the ring was a family heirloom is would be kinder to give it back to her ex fiance so he can keep it in the family.
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.
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. If you bought her the engagement ring then it's hers to keep. If and when you get engaged again your next fiance would not want a ring you had given another woman.
Whether England, the U.S. or Canada when an engagement ring is given to a young woman it is hers to keep. However, although rare sometimes the young man may give a family heirloom as the engagement ring and it would be gracious of the ex fiancee to give the ring back to her ex fiance.
Yes, you can sell your engagement ring if you no longer want to keep it.

Any engagement ring law is usually this: If the male breaks the engagement, she may keep the ring. If the female breaks the engagement, she must return the ring. Oh, and in most cases I've heard of, it's not a "law" as in a specific legislative decree. More just the common practice of civil courts, who reason that the ring was given in expectation of marriage, so if she breaks it off, she "owes" it back, but if he changes his mind, that's not her fault. However, as with all legal matters, one should consult with a local attorney, more familiar with the laws of your state, and your specific situation.
