People massively divided as woman sells €15k engagement ring on Facebook after split

People have been left divided after a woman put her €15,000 engagement ring up for sale on Facebook Marketplace after calling off her wedding.

The woman, based in Australia, said she was given the one-carat diamond ring from Tiffany by her partner but, for 'obvious reasons', was now putting it up for sale.

She listed the pricey ring for €11,300, which is quite a big discount considering she had only worn the ring for a short time.

However, despite the savings, a fierce debate raged in the comments as some said she should give the ring back to her former partner.

Taking to Facebook, the woman wrote: "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."

After posting the advert online, the woman was soon inundated with comments as some said she should give the ring back - and one added that there may even be legal complications involved.

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 keeping 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.

Meanwhile, a jilted bride who enjoyed her wedding day alone after being stood up by her would-be husband said that she still had hope after getting a call at 2am saying he had gone.

Kayley Stead, 27, bravely carried on with her wedding celebration when her partner of four years, 24-year-old Kallum Norton, failed to turn up.

Her story went viral as Kayley celebrated on September 15 at Oxwich Bay Hotel in Gower, Swansea, Wales, with her loved ones around her despite suffering what must have been intense heartbreak.

She was supported by her bridal party and family, and went ahead with her wedding entrance, meal, speeches, dances and even posed for professional photos without the groom.

Now, she's shared a story about the moment she got a call from her mum at 2am saying that Kallum had disappeared - saying that she still had hope.
