My dad bought this gorgeous ring back in the early 80s from a friend of his for about $800. I've always loved the ring, so my dad has saved it and also considers it an investment of his. It's 1.04 carats, platinum, and apparently one of the best qualities available. It was appraised at ~$8500 (not with the diamond wedding band). My boyfriend recently proposed to me with it and apparently proposition my dad for it. My dad sold it (both rings) to him for $5000, but told him all that money would go right back into our wedding since they don't have a lot to help me out with. It's a little steep, but I understand my dad's point of wanting my fiance to be proud, as well. Since then, my fiance's father has flipped out and accused my dad of being very wrong by selling it and told my fiance my family isn't normal. He thinks my dad should have given it to us, regardless that it's going into the wedding. Now I don't even want the ring. I guess what I want to know is -- was my dad wrong?
