My mother has a three diamond ring. One diamond is my father's engagement diamond, the center one is her grandmother's engagement diamond, and the other is from her former fiance who died in a car crash before my parents met. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, my dad gets upset because he thinks the other guy's diamond is bigger than his (Truth be told, it is off by a millimeter or some ridiculously tiny measurement). I get to inherit the ring when I become older, and I'm proud to.
My boyfriend, on the other hand, has this really really really nice watch. His ex girlfriend's parents gave it to him (they own a jewelry store in Pgh) for Christmas, despite the fact they had only been dating for a few months at the time. I am just kinda hurt because I can't give him that type of present and neither can my parents. But at the same time, it's like a $500 watch, and truth be told, I'd be willing to hang onto a 500 dollar watch despite who gave it to me.
