Poor woman lost her pink diamond before her wedding and is sueing jeweler for bad workmanship!

Umm..didn''t they have insurance?
And 10mths after the ring was bought? Sorry, but I would want more info before siding with the consumer on this one - her attitude gave me a chuckle though

"It wasn''t as if I treated it roughly. I told them (the jewellers), ''Do these look like hands that do manual labour?''."

lol..

thanks for posting april !

Yes, no insurance on a $98,000 ring? Stupidy!

"In the Santis'' statement of claim lodged with the Federal Magistrates'' Court they value the diamond at $98,000 and a replacement setting at about $25,000."

Seems most have insurance on "inexpensive" $5K rings. . .If I were the judge, I''d toss that one right out of court.

Seriously people. Ever heard of insurance??? I hope the judge throws this one out. Crazy.
