Was it insured? I would have claimed it.

3.24 ct round solitaire, set low and in white gold. Picked out the stone, setting & wedding bands from a vendor in the NYC diamond district highly recommended on PriceScope, got some good mileage for the money. Love it!

Don't think many people care about worthless stone rings either.


Apparently 8 pages’ worth of people care. Go back to the Relationships forum and be miserable and lament why your husband thinks you’re a miserable hag.

I am lucky to have two beautiful family engagement rings. My husband gave me his grandmama’s 6 1/2 transitional cut solitaire set in a platinum figured setting.

My Mom died 5 years ago and I inherited her 3+ carat rose cut diamond engagement ring with a platinum and diamond band. Both seem too big for daily wear now, but I wear Mons a lot because I miss her.

Do you live in the same house? Why would you not check the trap (or have a plumber do it)? I have never flushed a ring but as a prosecutor I have firsthand experience of knowing metal objects often end up lodged in the trap in the pipes when you flush them. We have recovered evidence months and months after the fact.

Wow, you care a lot about appearances. Not cute.


Of course I do, it's something you wear every day for the rest of your life. Why in heck would you not care a lot about how it looks?

we're both journalists -- knew I wasn't going to get 2 carat princess cut of my dreams so I suggested thin pave diamond band -- have stacked two more on it for wedding ring and first kid push prez. two platinum, one gold -- love it how it looks when I remember to clean them. all three in total are prob 7k.
