There have been a string of broken celebrity engagements recently, from Hugh Hefner’s runaway bride Crystal Harris to Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler’s shocking split. This week Jesse James and his fiancée Kat Von D also called it quits.
One question looms for these couples: What to do with the engagement ring?
Typically, the rule regarding engagement rings is simple. It’s considered a conditional gift, meaning if the wedding is off, the ring should be returned. However, if kept, there are many options when it comes to keeping or selling the ring.
TooFab’s Annie Quintana spoke with Andrew Streyer, a certified gemologist and director of evaluations at online pawnshop Pawngo.com, about what to do with the unwanted ring.
“Most often people sell the ring because of the memories attached to it,” Streyer said. “However, you can transform the ring in a lot of ways.”
Playboy Playmate Crystal Harris, 25, broke off the engagement to Hugh Hefner just five days before the wedding. Even though the split was reported as amicable, Hef showed off mixed feelings about it. He said that Crystal broke his heart but on the other hand he immediately turned to other blondes for consolation. After their split, Crystal went back to the Playboy mansion to return the engagement ring and the car he had bought for her, but Hef said she could keep them. Shortly after, he made public his new relationship with model and aspiring actress Shera Bechard, 27.
This week, Crystal was invited to Howard Stern’s radio show and revealed some of the details in her relationship with Hef. And they weren’t too complimentary on his address. She said that they only had sex once in their two-year-relationship and it only “lasted like two seconds”. She also stated that she has never seen him naked and that Hef was more into “couch cuddling and movie nights” than sex.
In response to that, Hugh Hefner, 85, posted a message on Twitter claiming that Crystal is not telling the truth. “Crystal lied about our relationship on Howard Stern but I don't know why”. He responded to several messages from fans regarding his former relationship. “Crystal convinced me that she adored me. That was the first lie”, he answered one fan. “I feel sorry for Crystal. She seems lost,” he told another.
