Since engagement rings are quite an investment, many couples decide to insure the bauble to protect it from potential loss or damage. One woman, however, didn’t get insurance for her diamond-clad sparkler, so she was left “devastated” after realizing her dog ate the gemstone—just shortly after she got engaged to her partner of five years, with whom she was doing long-distance at the time. In an interview with People, the woman, Chloe Miller, recalled the grueling Thursday she had in March 2022 as a graduate student. After spending eight hours studying for an exam out of the house, she returned home to find that her engagement ring, which she had left on her bedside table, was missing. At first, she suspected that she was responsible for the lost bauble. “I am known to lose everything, and at the time, I did not have the diamond insured,” she explained. “I was absolutely devastated because I felt so irresponsible.”
