Particularly exquisite pieces like the one they're about to smash to pieces ... why? All because he asked her to marry him but he didn't have money for a ring... but she sees the ring money in the collection case.
You'll wince, you'll cringe and you'll probably scream STOP YOU STUPID *****!! But it goes on and on.

Thinking of how (if I were him and I got home from Vegas) to best let her know what she had done.
Probably find verifiable quotable prices and estimated auction values... let it sink in and hint to her how much they'd be worth by the time our (would be) child goes to college.
Then quietly and politely tell her the engagement is off and to get out of the house before I kill her.
.... she'd have 10 seconds.
