As a child of divorced parents, I really don't think your daughter will want a memento of a failed marriage.
Still better to give that choice to the child. Yes, most kids wouldn't want it, but if they do want it and you've gotten rid of it, they can't make that choice. Also, some people refer to late spouses as exspouses, for whatever reason.
The ring may be tainted, but the stones and metal can be recast for a fraction of the cost of a new ring. If anything, have the ring broken or cut to pieces to affirm to your fiancé that your intentions are indeed pure.... *Honestly, is that even a real concern? If he trusts you, then he should accept your word and intentions. If he is focusing on something this miniscule and petty before you are even married, he is either looking for an out, or he is going to be a real control freak later down the road.
To people saying it's a bad ring cause the marriage didn't work out: my parents couldn't afford a ring so my dads mom gave them hers (her marriage was terrible and abusive but she was an awesome mom) they're not only still married but now I have the ring and I love it and my mom still wants it back lol
