We know how the story goes: Boy meets girl. Boy likes girl. Boy and girl date. Boy proposes to girl. But now a twist in the story—before boy and girl could walk down the aisle, pronounce their “I do’s” and live happily ever after, boy dies. And his estate files a lawsuit against girl to recover the engagement ring gifted to her.

In this particular instance, it was no ordinary engagement ring. It was a 4-carat princess cut $265,000 Harry Winston diamond engagement ring. It was also no ordinary estate, but the estate of an extremely wealthy and prominent businessman, which, at the time of the deceased fiancé’s death, was valued somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million to $150 million.
