I Do...Now I Don't

Somewhere in the US there is a woman wearing a diamond on a chain around her neck. The diamond is in the shape of a pendant, but it used to be a square. A princess cut, to be exact. A princess cut diamond that was on a ring that I wore before the ex and I called things off. We were through, yet here was this expensive hunk of carbon burning a hole in his pocket - and through his credit. He went about trying to find someone to buy that sparkly little testament to our doomed love, finally stumbling onto some list serv where he managed to find a taker for the ring. If only this nifty little auction site had been around back then.

Many states are now starting to pass legislation mandating that the recipient of the ring return it to the one who purchased it in case of a broken engageament. Miss Emily Post says its just bad manners otherwise.

For all you jilters or jiltees, what did you do with the ring?
