Woman calls off wedding, sells £13,500 engagement ring on Facebook
• An engagement ring
After calling off her wedding, a woman caused controversy by listing her £13,500 engagement ring for sale on Facebook Marketplace. The Australian woman claimed that although, her partner had given her a one-carat diamond ring from Tiffany, it had now been put up for sale for “obvious reasons.”
In light of the fact that she had only recently started wearing the expensive ring, she listed it for £10,000, a considerable discount. Despite the savings, there was a heated argument in the comments about whether she ought to return the ring to her ex-partner.
The woman posted on Facebook as follows, “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.”
The woman received a flood of feedback after putting the advertisement online, with some suggesting that she return the ring and one adding that there might even be legal ramifications.
Following her actions, reactions and comments have been sparked.
One user wrote: “If he paid for it, it’s his and he should get all the money.” And another said: “Legally you can’t sell this and have to give it back if you didn’t proceed with the marriage.”
But others disagreed, saying the woman was within her rights to sell the ring. One added: “Not true – it’s considered a gift and it’s hers.” Then a fourth user contributed: “Good for you for keep ing it. It’s absolutely beautiful.”
But other users were concerned the sale might be a scam, as there was no receipt or certificate of authenticity with the ring.

An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
