I thought that the girl always kept the ring as it was a gift.
Do they just sometimes give it back because they feel bad or is it obligatory?

The giving of an engagement ring is a contract for marriage. If the marriage is not carried out the contract is broken and the ring must be given back (went through this last year -- it sucks).
As for my advice -- if you can swing it I would do what yournamehere suggested and throw that thing in a very safe place. You'll get through this time and will met someone new and then be able to upgrade.
If you do need the money I would also go to a private jewerly shop. Make sure to bring with you the certification papers that came with your ring. But be prepared to loss some of the money you initially invested. Case in point -- I spend $10,000 on a ring and only got $7,500 for it. Not sure if the breakup or that hurt more. Good luck to ya....
