She probably already pawned it, but yes he should ask ... no, DEMAND that she return it.

Hell yes!! He can take her to court for it
Of course you should get the ring back and if she is unwilling to return it you can take her to court. The judge will side with you, as an engagement ring represents a promise to marry. She sounds like a real prize, sorry this happened to you
I believe that etiquette states that, upon the occasion of a broken engagement, the young woman is supposed to return the engagement ring. It was given as a sort of contract of the promise of marriage--a contract which, obviously, she has broken. That said, you're probably going to have a hard time getting it back. I suggest that you consult with an attorney to see what your options are. It's possible you could sue, but court costs are high--your best bet may be Small Claims Court (and I know $12,000 doesn't seem like a "small" amount, but in the realm of law, it's pretty minimal).
I agree that under the circumstances it would be okay to ask for it back but not a year or two later.

She has no class. If she still owns it, it would be best to use an attorney to approach her. Surely there is some act of fraud that was committed. Go after her but use the lawyer. You might be able to scare her with a letter from a lawyer. Otherwise it is unlikely that she will give it back without legal pressure since she was too much of a tramp to give it back when you two quit seeing each other.
Courts generally treat the engagement ring as a gift, from the donor (the person who gave the ring) to the donee (the person who received it).
The majority of courts also consider such a gift to be a conditional one. That means that, until some future event occurs, the gift isn't final; if that event does not occur, then the donor has the right to get the gift back.
Women who want to keep their engagement rings often argue that the condition needed to make the engagement ring a final gift is simply the acceptance of the proposal of marriage, not the completion of the marriage ceremony. That way, if the engagement is broken, the ring remains her property.
However, this argument often loses. The majority of courts find that the gift of an engagement ring contains an implied condition of marriage; acceptance of the proposal is not the underlying "deal: and most courts look at engagement rings as conditional gifts given in contemplation of marriage.
Yes!! It's a no brainer you bought it, it's your ring.
She absolutely should return the ring she should have done it the moment she told you about the other guy. Wow, some woman are beyond low! Good luck with this one.
If she's already married with a kid, you probably waited too long.
Absolutely. Shame on her for keeping it. Accepting your ring was her part in the promise & contract to marry. If she broke the contract - you are entitled to the ring. At twelve grand, it's worth going to court to retrieve it. Or the value. (fyi - if you did something to drive her away, eg cheat on her during the engagement - then you may have a problem. She will feel entitled to keep it. Hope this is not the case.)
Yes. That was significant of a contract. If she breaks the contract, you do get the ring back.
Yes. And why would she want it if she has someone else anyway?
