My soon to be ex-spouse is claiming that her wedding ring should not be counted as an asset because it was given to her as gift by me. The original engagement ring (given 7 years ago was only valued at $1500), but 5 years after marrying we upgraded the ring with a $7K diamond. Is that really not considered part of the combined marital assets?

No, it is not considered a marital asset... it was a gift to your stbx.

Generally, it would be considered a pre marital asset and you would have no claim to it. But since you used "married" money to upgrade it, I would think now it is considered marital property. Your lawyer (please get one if you do not have one already) will be able to tell you the laws, don't believe anything she says, obviously she wants to keep it and will tell you 'whatever'.

It is considered a gift from one spouse to another which generally qualifies it as a non-marital asset (one not divided in divorce). It is not necessarily or usually consiidered a premarital asset, but the result is the same.
