Who will get the wedding ring during a divorce?

The wedding ring is generally considered a gift that the wife retains unless a family heirloom that it was agreed at the time would remain with the family. Other rings are personal property of the community and subject to division with the other marital assets.

The rings could be considered marital property or separate property. After all he did gift them to her during the marriage so they can be considered separate property.

Generally rings are considered personal items (like clothes, shoes, purses, other jewelry), as such they usually stay with the person who uses/wears them. Also, a wedding ring, an anniversary ring, a ring given as a gift were meant to be given to that person, they aren't marital property, they are sole property (gifts). However, if there is a very large value to certain jewelry, your friend may be able to argue that it wasn't a gift and it is community property, and therefore there should be an offset with other property, so that they each end up with equal amounts of community assets and debts.

They were gifts. They belong to her.

It really depends upon the value, usually personal jewelry is allocated to the party who was given it or wears it. If, on the other hand, it has significant monetary value than it can be accounted for and included as part of the marital estate. Obviously your friend should be seen an attorney with all of the facts.
