    I had always heard that it depended on who broke off the engagement.
    If the giver broke off the engagement, then the ring was kept by the
    receiver. If the receiver broke off the engagement, then the ring
    had to be given back. I think this is more etiquette than legal and
    I can't see how legally they could force the gift to be given back.
