This exact thing happened to Steven Crocker, a 23 year old American who was left with a beautiful R20 000,00 engagement ring! 

In an interview with Today.com he said; "I was very sad, my mom knew that, so when I was at work, she took the ring and put it somewhere I wouldn't be able to look at it. I went to some stores, and they weren't offering me very much money," he said. "It was not about the money for me. It was about the love and that no amount of money would fill the emptiness." 

After realizing he was never going to sell it for close to what he paid for it, he decided to "gift it" to a couple who couldn't afford a ring, doing what anyone else would do, he posted his story on Facebook, looking for the perfect couple, deserving of his ring!

In the same interview with Today.com Steven said "As of this morning, I have 960 unread emails. I've read probably 150. I've got over 100 Facebook messages I've been trying to sift through, I'm not going to pick anybody until I read all of them. I should have probably picked a deadline in hindsight."

It's a beautiful story and I can't wait to hear the ending! 

Have you been left with an engagement ring? What did you do with it?
