Can this be for real? And if you could afford it why would you buy it from Sam''s Club?

I'd buy it but I don't like the gold colored prongs. I wonder if you get a bag with it to bring it home or if you just carry it out in your cart. I can just picture it next to my 5 pound bag of M&Ms and my 24 bottles of water.

Only $260k? JLo's was much more than that!

Nice to see that shipping is included for a $260,000 purchase.

Maybe it is JLo's - she and Ben did break up... Didn't hear what became of the ring - maybe she sold it to Sam's - hehe!

Nope, hers was 6 carats. And, I too am curious as to what will become of her ring.

 

[Nicrez]

Her's was a Harry Winston $1.5 Million, if I am not mistaken...so if it's the one and the same, I say someone get it, that's a DAMN good deal!

Poor Ben, he should have used PriceScope and figured out a stone with a better resale value...he could have saved money! LOL

 

[mike04456]

It's a different stone. Ben (if he got it back) will probably auction it off at Christie's if he's going to sell it. If J.Lo. still has it, I predict she will have it re-set in a belly stud or something equally tasteful.

 

[hoorray]

Ahhhhh... a $1.5m belly stud. Every girl's dream!

Lawgem, don't you *know*? You're such a tease. Surely you of all people could tell us if, uh, *Ben* asked for it back or not. Hm?
