You would definitely have to look into your local laws and even consult with your lawyer on this matter but usually when you give an engagement ring it is a gift and belongs to her. If she wants to give it back that would be up to her. Have you tried asking/telling her you want it back?
No, there is no law (in the US) requiring that she give back the wedding and engagement ring. Totally correct because the rings are considered a GIFT.
I don't think it will be stated in the State law, but traditionally, engagement ring is a promise for wedding. If any party breaks the promise, the engagement ring shall be given back.
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. An engagement ring is given in contemplation of marriage. If the marriage occurred the contract was completed and the ring became the woman's property. Unless there was some prenuptial agreement the ring belongs to her.
If the man calls off the engagement who keeps the ring in the state of MS
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.
* Generally when an engagement ring or wedding ring is given then it is the woman's to keep, but if she was any kind of a woman knowing this was your grandmother's ring she should give it back. If need be offer to buy her a new ring in place of your grandmother's ring and of course it wouldn't be an engagement ring.
In Washington State, the law regarding the return of engagement rings generally considers the ring a gift, which means it typically does not have to be returned if the engagement is broken.

It's always advisable to consult with a legal professional for guidance specific to individual circumstances.
When a man gives an engagement ring to the one he loves at that time and they split up the woman in question does not have to give the ring back as it was a gift to her. However, if the ring is a family heirloom it would be nice of her to give the ring back.Actually this is based off of your state's laws and sometimes, if it goes to court, the judge's verdict.
