[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should have an honest conversation with your sister and see what kind of trade you can make. If that doesn't work, ask if you can borrow the ring to give to a jeweler to make a copy for yourself. Or take very good photos of it, from every angle, right in front of your sister. When she sees you going to this effort, maybe she will realize how much it does in fact mean to you and agree to a trade. If not, you will still have a beautiful copy. Anyway, that's what I would do.

At this point would the ring represent any good memories of her Grandmother? Or would the OP look at the ring and think of how her mother gave it to her sister and expected her to pay for any other family heirlooms from the Grandma?[/quote]

It was my advice you quoted. She's either going to get the real ring or she isn't. She's not going to get half of it, and it is the only thing she said she wanted. To me even if she got the real ring from her sister, it will always carry the stain of this incident. So what difference does it make? Can't you argue that the ring will always remind her of this ugly incident - whether she sees it on her sister's hand, whether she wears the real one, or wears the replica?  If she has a replica made, then she at least has something to pass to her own daughters and could make more than one if she has more daughters! She could even make one for her sister as a gesture of appreciation if she gets the real thing. [/quote]
