reusing a wedding ring from late wife

I am a widower and I am thinking about getting married. My problem is the wedding and engagement rings. The set that I have were my mother's originally. I gave them to my late wife. I have the rings once again.

Is it proper to use them again?

Thank you.

Dear Withoutaclue,

Love the name :)

I'm sorry. If you gave these rings to another woman, it wouldn't be appropriate to give them to your future wife.

It would be best to shop for new rings with your fiance.

Best wishes,
