Whether you can keep your engagement ring depends on your state's jewelry exemption. Exemption amounts vary wildly -- from $150 in Arizona to unlimited in Texas. If your ring's value exceeds the exemption, the trustee could potentially sell it (though this is rare in practice for modest rings). Many people protect rings using wildcard exemptions.
In Missouri/Kansas: Missouri: $500 jewelry. Kansas: no specific limit, use wildcard.
