Chattel Tortured by Fear of Losing Symbol of the Purchase of her Worth

Recently, in New York City, a woman lost one of the diamond stones from her betrothal ring. It measured 4 carats. “I wake up in cold sweats dreaming that I’m going to lose my ring — and the funny thing is, I did,” she told a local paper about the status symbol. Funny thing! The shiny stone, a symbol of her worth, was later found, however, by a watchful man. Now she can retire to privacy of her home, ring intact.
