An Expensive Diamond Two-Timer!

The UPI reports today that a woman who dumped her fiance when she suspected he was cheating can keep her $40,000 engagement ring, a Manhattan judge has ruled.

While jilted beaus are legally entitled to get their rings back because they're considered "conditional" gifts, Brian Callahan is not, because he was still technically married to another woman when he popped the question to Clyburn Parker, state Supreme Court Justice Rolando Acosta ruled, the New York Post said.

The couple first "met" in 2001 on an online dating service that listed Callahan as "divorced."

Callahan proposed to her with a 3.41-carat diamond ring in July 2002, the newspaper said. Parker moved north to live in Callahan's Upper East Side apartment, but their relationship went south.

Callahan demanded the ring back, and sued when she said no. It was then that Parker discovered he was still married.

While Callahan's divorce was granted in June 2002 -- before they were engaged -- it didn't become official until a judge signed off on it in September of that year.

So, the screwer gets screwed. Quite expensive!
