I would expect whoever ends up with it to be able to sell it for a substantial portion of its purchase price. The cut requested by the former fiancee isn't popular, though, so it will probably take longer to sell.
I would disagree, the person who buys the ,25 ct ring at Zale's has probably saved up or stretched themselves just at much as this yutz who had more disposable income. If found in this situation they would have just as much right to expect the return of the ring as this lawyer.

My wife’s wedding ring cost me $400. $150 was to mount her grandmothers diamond in the center. Our whole wedding was I think 1700 bucks. Been married for 23 years together for 25. Neither of us really wanted to spend a lot of money on a wedding. We made a pact to be financially debt free. That was our wedding present.
Sorry there is no vagina in the world worth that kind of money.
Often men buy enormous diamonds for their future wives because they want to be able to show that off. It's not always the woman who asks for the large diamond; often the man wants to buy it as a gesture of wealth and desirability of his new wife.
Wow, I guess the saying is true: a fool and his money are soon parted. Why would anyone need such an expensive ring that depreciates as fast as a new car just driven off the lot?
That was my question, as soon as I read your thread title. And her excuse was, that she didn't want a wedding, or not an expensive wedding, she wanted the wedding money to go toward the ring? Who, among mere mortals, has a $100K wedding? Who is this guy--why does he have this kind of money to throw around?

These people are wealthy. They aren't like you. Expecting people in a different socioeconomic strata to make the same decisions that you would isn't realistic. To them, spending one hundred dollars is like an ordinary person spending five dollars. Something tells me they are probably already debt free.
You would think that. But I highly doubt that. In act I’ve had plenty of experience with wealthy appearing people. This guy took a loan to pay for the ring. That does not mean wealth. Not by a long shot. You’re assuming because someone makes a lot of money or their job title says some professional stature that in no way correlates them to bring debt free. Or being wealthy. Lots of people make a lot of money but they have a lot of debt. You would be surprised how many wealthy appearing people are financially strapped

But in this case SHE demanded a certain size of diamond/ring. Sarita didn’t set the price. The would be husband did. So your story really is inconsequential.
And a ring really doesn’t say that you love the person. It’s nothing more than a penis in the shape of a circle to match up to other rings. Sorry but you dont measure love by the cost of the ring. Such gesture is nothing more than bragging rights. I guarantee you if anyone compliments the ring the first thing out of their mouth would be to state the cost. Because to some people that puts them a step above you on the social scale. In today’s society it’s nothing more than a show off item.
Truthfully I don’t really say how much money we make or what we have to people when we meet people. It’s really nobody’s business what my finances are. I can generalize n here because I’m relatively anonymous.
The way you show your love is by making the other person comfortable, foreseeing their needs and putting them ahead of your needs. We live a stress free life as far as financial worries. If I died she will not have to work and live a comfortable life off our investments without worrying. We worked together to gather wealth. We busted our butts to make sure we’re financially well set. My wife has been retired for over 11 years. Because I didn’t want her working anymore.

So I registered to read the 2nd article I posted, doesn't really say anything more, neither does his lawsuit. Never once does it say who broke off the engagement just that she called his father to pick him up and he eventually left without his stuff. At no time did he call the cops either. His lawsuit is very poorly written too. Heck I could have done better; this guy has chump written all over him. He admits to supporting her for a long time and wanting to throw her out and wants his ring back.
He's the sole person on the lease too. He had every right to evict her or call the cops but never did.

1) A diamond appreciates
2) If she broke off the engagement, he gets the ring. Not sure what law is regarding if he breaks off the engagement

He's a lawyer. Some lawyers make really good money.
Plenty of people in the country have the money for a 100K wedding ring.
