    • Why do you want to avoid telling your husband?  Depending on the reason you might want to talk to a priest.

    • Why don’t you want to tell him? If he doesn’t want you to sell it then don’t. Even if you don’t agree, it’s best to yield to your husband.

    Hi

    Me again, it's not my wedding but my engagement.

    I'm not a troll, I just thought it's gathering dust, and the money xoule be put to better use. I doubt the world will still be going in 20 years with how everything is.

    The "put to better use" sounds like it's also planned to be kept hidden from your husband. Will he not notice the new dress, new appliance, new knickknacks, or whatever? Or is it a secret stash for impulse spending on consumables that he can't obviously notice? 

    If the "better use" is something for the family or the household, or as a rainy-day reserve fund, then why not discuss it with him first?

    As for the world in 20 years, that's for another topic, but it kind of sounds like an "eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die" sort of outlook.

    This was my concern above.  I wonder whether the "better use" could be worse than your ideas.

    • Unless your husband is very ill, out of work and you're willing to sacrifice the ring to support him and your family, I wouldn't do it.
    That ring supposedly holds greater sentimental value than dollar value.  Your husband may have sacrificed to be able to get it for you; just guessing.
    It might appear that it's meaning ( and him) means nothing to you if you sold it, and that could have consequences.

    • You seem to have communication problems with your husband. Shouldn’t you cherish such a once in a lifetime gift?
