Like some people are saying "well it's a gift so she get's to keep it" are wrong. An engagement ring is not a gift it is a symbol of a contract. If the woman breaks said contract the ring is returned. By the way OP if she gives it back get it appraised the same day to make sure she didn't swap the diamond out.
Secondly guys . .this is the age of equality. Women want to be equal so let's make sure we hold them to that. I made it very clear when I got engaged that I also wanted some sort of 'engagement gift' so my fiancee went and paid for a $1500 customized poker chip set. I also got something out of the engagement which to me should be standard these days.
Feminism has given women the equality the wanted. They can't have their cake and eat it to.
