it took me awhile to recognize the ring

At least she left the two marquis

Great shot and story.

nice photo, and I have not even returned.

Here, that's cause for a lawsuit. An engagement ring is a form of "contract," and if she breaks it off, she's required by law to return it - intact...

Great photo and back story.

The entry may not be from the U.S., MossyB. And even here, while what you say is generally true, it depends on what state you're in.

Some things are simply not mean to be. Actually years later after she was married, a final request form me was followed by it's return. It had a chip in it. not a lucky stone.
