Woman lists £13k engagement ring for sale after calling off the wedding… and totally divides opinion | The Sun

A WOMAN who called off her wedding has sparked a major debate after attempting to sell her £13k engagement ring. 

The former bride-to-be, who was set to tie the knot where she lives in Australia, had been proposed to with a 1.0 Carat sparkler, but instead of handing it back to her ex-partner, she posted it on Facebook.

Posting a photo of the engagement ring, the woman wrote alongside it explaining that she wanted the ring to go for a new home for £10k, compared to the £13k it was purchased for.

She said: “Selling this for obvious reasons. I do, now I don’t. 

“Compare to current Tiffany pricing of a 1.0 Carat ring at $23,600, I am letting go of this beauty at $18,500.

“Condition is close to brand new – never worn much. Sorry no receipt as I didn’t buy it obviously. Bank transfers only.”

But people had plenty to say about her selling the piece of jewellery that had been gifted to her.

Soon, social media users clashed over whether this was the right thing to do or not.

One wrote: “If he paid for it, it’s his and should get all the money. 

While a third even suggested that there could be legal implications as she did not “proceed with the marriage.”
