Her Cousin Just Got Engaged And Expected Her To Fork Over Their Grandma’s Engagement Ring, But She Fully Intends To Keep It For Herself

This 22-year-old girl has a cousin the same age as her named Becky. Well, for New Year’s this year, Becky got engaged.
Back when Becky’s new fiancé asked her uncle (who is Becky’s dad) if he could propose to her, her uncle mentioned that he could propose to Becky with an engagement ring that belonged to their grandma.
Sadly, their grandma passed away when she and Becky were only 3. But anyway, her uncle offered up grandma’s ring because he believed it was in his possession.
“The ring had already passed through 2 generations to get to my grandmother, so he wanted to continue the tradition,” she explained.
“The ring wasn’t willed to anyone, nor did she verbally say who she wanted the rings to go to (as far as I’m aware), but my uncle thought that he had it because he was the oldest brother.”
Her dad actually has their grandma’s engagement ring and also her wedding band. After her grandma had passed away and her family had cleaned out her apartment, her dad just ended up with both of the rings.
During the pandemic, she and her family sat down to go through her grandma’s things again with the intention of moving some stuff on to charity shops, and they rediscovered grandma’s rings tucked away in her family’s attic.
When they came across the rings, she questioned her dad about getting to have her grandma’s engagement ring, and he said yes.
Her grandma’s engagement ring is pretty stunning; it has an emerald and a diamond.

“I paid to have the ring cleaned, re-plated, and have the settings checked,” she said. “I now wear the ring fairly regularly because since starting my career after uni, I’ve started to wear more jewelry because I think it’s a simple way of looking more put together and polished.”
“My uncle, aunt, and cousin (we’re both only children) have been hunting around their house for the rings since late October, and Becky’s fiancé proposed with some costume jewelry. My parents and I didn’t know about any of this at the time. Over the weekend, Becky had her engagement party, I wore the ring, not thinking much of it because it went with what I was wearing (a green velvet jumpsuit).”
Becky and her uncle instantly spotted the ring on her finger, and then they both turned around and yelled at her dad for stealing the ring. Becky and her uncle then said she wore the ring to the party just to put Becky down before insisting she destroyed Becky’s special day.
They also tried to make her fork over the ring, but she refused to. She reminded them that she had no clue they had been hunting for the ring, and if they had said something to her or even her mom or dad, they would have been happy to tell them where the ring was.
“I don’t want to give her the ring because I consider it my ring (it ended up with my dad, and he gave it to me); I paid for it to be resized/cleaned/re-plated/settings fixed; it’s my favorite/most worn piece of jewelry (because I like how it looks and the sentimental value of it being my grandmas because I don’t really remember her, so it helps me feel connected to her); and my Grandma expressed no preference to who the ring went to,” she continued.
“They argue that Becky should get the ring because she’s the daughter of the eldest son (my aunt is the only girl and currently has no children or plans to get married) and Becky got engaged first so she should get the ring for that.”
Do you think Becky is entitled to the ring?
