He does deserve the ring back but unfortunately may not get it. Without a written contract, she can keep it and doesn’t have to give it back to him, technically speaking. As silly as it sounds there should be a contract upon giving certain items to people (car, diamond ring, house) stating that they acknowledge that if something goes wrong, then they agree to return the item.
Without having a legally signed document, the ring is her property because she is the possessor and he doesn’t have anything legal to uphold his claim.

She definitely should give it back but the hard truth is without a legal “something,” she doesn’t have to.

I’m not familiar with this though but if I was him I’d do everything in my power to get it back. I got it! The receipt. If the receipt has his name on it, its his, provided that no other legal document is in existence.

Philosophically: technically, you can go and beat up somebody/hurt them for no reason, but you don’t because it is wrong and amoral. so too, you don’t keep something expensive after you keep a promise and then break it for the purpose of keeping a very expensive item, that is wrong and amoral.
