2) If she broke off the engagement, he gets the ring. Not sure what law is regarding if he breaks off the engagement
Rarely. Unless it’s a investment grade clarity and above a certain carat.

Yes. That’s right. But this guy took out a loan and used cc to do it. Multi millionaires have that money. I dint think this guy did have the money everyone assumes he does. His profession doesn’t mean anything. Most lawyers don’t get paid millions. Most lawyers average 140,000 dollars a year.

Read the lawsuit I posted. Everything she wanted he did so he's the chump. He's rarely said no. Few occasions with furniture for the house but other then that I'm not seeing anything in his papers. The most shocking part of the lawsuit is he said she used his credit card without him letting her; well how on earth did she even do that?
Humans "need" very little. Do you have things you don't "need?"
That’s a non-sequitur.
We all have things we don’t need, but we don’t take out a $30,000 personal loan, savings, and max out credit cards to purchase 1 big thing we can’t afford.

Not the type of diamond the DC lawyer financed or any type of diamond you can afford.
This isn’t some billionaire buying a ring for his wife’s collection that was going to sit in a jewelry box in pristine condition. It’s a guy who financed a custom piece and is now fighting over it with a former girlfriend who was going to wear it daily and who clearly took advantage of him.

Diamonds are actually so common, they'd be a dime a dozen, almost, if it weren't for the heavy marketing DeBiers does, in combination with their near total control of the supply.
Yo what? I am not married, but people still buy engagement rings?
Yes, you can thank the millions of married and engaged females with big stones on their ring finger, posting it on social media for that. It is a societal/cultural expectation and the vast majority of newly engaged women expect a decent engagement ring.

This. This is the reality check people need, regarding how much lawyers make. There are only a few niches in the legal field. that pay highly, and even then, it's not enough to drop $100K on a ring for Muffy.

I never said he wasn’t a chump. Looks to me like she wore the balls and the pants in the family

If you really want to impress get precious gem stones. They are far more rare than diamonds.

He took out a loan for $30,000. The house they rented was $5,000 a month plus he's paying the $30k loan at $1000 per; add to it insurance on the ring which I don't recall if he listed. He also footed the bill to furnish the house and took on supporting her. He was living like he made pretty good money is what I meant; that's why I said to read it. He had to be bringing home pretty good money.
I'm sure he's throwing out a pretty penny on attorney fees here too.
I really want to know who called it off. He included every receipt and email/ facebook post he could but not the one thing that matters the most.

Yup. Diamonds are BO-ringggg. If I had $100K to spend on a stone, I wouldn't waste it on a diamond. These people had no imagination, or knowledge of gemstones. I'd go for a high-quality Alexandrite. The high-quality ones in a good size are very hard to come by. They somehow reflect two contrasting colors in one stone: turquoise and purple. Amazing. If you want beautiful and unusual stones, go to the Urals. Go to Ekaterinburg, the gem capital of Russia.
