In China, the groom's father dropped his $140,000 engagement ring down a drain.
An attempt to buy a ring for his future daughter-in-law almost ended sadly for a resident of the Chinese province of Guangdong. The buyer decided to see how the stone “played” in natural light and leaned out the window with the ring.
As a result, the jewel slipped out of an open window, flew 9 floors and fell straight into a storm drain.
The man tried to find the jewelry. To do this, he hired a whole team of assistants, each of whom received about $70 per day for their services. The search took almost four days and attracted hundreds of onlookers. The item was found and returned to the owner. Her discovery was celebrated with a fireworks party.
In China, jade is considered the “king of stones.” He personifies wisdom and eternity, Heaven and Earth. The translucent texture of jade is associated with the soul and spiritual aspirations. Jade is credited with many unique properties and qualities. Jade jewelry has a deep meaning and is considered a talisman.
