Engagement Ring Laws
Your state I think follows the conditional rule.
General rule is that an engagement ring is a conditional gift, and if the condition is not met (i.e. you don't get married) then the ring is to be returned without regard to "fault".
"conditional gift" rule - Harrison v. Yarbough, At Law No. 109240, 1992 WL 884620, 1 (Va. Cir. Ct.)
