You claim that, when you became engaged, Mr. Henson gave you a ring, but the stone used in that ring was yours. >> Yes. >> Judge Judy: Mr. Henson paid for the ring. >> Yes. >> Judge Judy: But not the diamond. >> Yes. >> Well, there was a diamond in it when I bought it. >> Judge Judy: I'd like to see the ring. >> Okay. >> Judge Judy: Okay. Now, this is clearly an engagement ring.
And it was purchased where, Mr. Henson? >> I can't say the name. It's Helzberg — >> Judge Judy: I'd like to see the receipt. No, no, I don't want to see this, sir. I want to see the receipt for the ring… >> Well… Judge Judy: …telling me that this looks as if it's about maybe a half a carat. >> Three-eighths. >> Judge Judy: Three-eighths of a carat. Not a bad eye. Okay? So that the receipt for this would say, "One engagement ring with a 0.40 diamond." It would list the quality of it, that it was part of the purchase. >> And I understand that. When I left, she told me I can not come back and get any of my stuff. So what I had to do is I had to get the receipt from my credit card, and that's what that is.
Everything was paid for by my credit card. No, she went — Those were in my folder, which I was not able to get. >> Judge Judy: Hold on a second. So this came from Helzberg Diamonds. >> Yes. >> Judge Judy: When did you purchase the diamond? >> Well, it's on there. >> Judge Judy: In 2011. >> Yeah. Five something, yeah. But that's why I had to go back to the credit-card receipt. >> Judge Judy: Oh, I have this sir. >> That was in my folder. >> Judge Judy: I have this, sir. Okay. Now I got… Okay, but it was in your folder, sir. She gave it to me. >> Along with all my receipts. >> Judge Judy: Just a second. I want you to tell me how the stone got in that diamond. >> It was from my ex-husband, who's now deceased. God rest his soul.
And I took it from this diamond. >> Judge Judy: May I see it? >> Yeah, the other diamond is my mother's diamond. >> Judge Judy: And was that in 2011? >> Yes. My daughter was the jeweler at the time. >> Judge Judy: It's a slightly larger stone. So it came out of this ring. >> Correct. >> Judge Judy: Put in this setting… >> Yes. >> Judge Judy: …that he paid for. He paid for the setting. >> The setting only. >> Judge Judy: Right. He didn't pay for the diamond. Do you understand? >> No. >> Judge Judy: Well I'm telling you, he didn't pay for the diamond! >> I received the diamond 12/3– 12 — New Year's. I received the diamond. I'm in the middle of this. >> Judge Judy: Well, let him buy you his own diamond.
This is<i> her</i> diamond. >><i> I</i> paid for that. >> Judge Judy: No, you didn't. >> Yes, I did. >> Judge Judy: Show me. >> I did. I showed you a receipt where I — [ Stammers ] You got the receipt. <i>Her</i> receipt is what was in my folders, which I don't have that folder. >> Judge Judy: Listen to me.
I don't care what's in your folder. I absolutely believe her that this diamond came from this ring and that you spent 900-and-some-odd-dollars for the mounting that has little diamonds on the side. But the center stone — >> I went to — >> Judge Judy: That the center stone belongs to her! >> Yes. >> What would he have purchased for $1,100 at the jewelry — >> Judge Judy: Very easy, madam. This entire ring, the mounting, the little diamonds on the side, the little bit slightly larger ones you might call baguettes, not the center stone. The center stone came from<i> this</i> ring. >> Mm. >> Judge Judy: This ring, with this center stone, did not cost $999.
The mounting and the sizing<i> did</i> with these little diamonds. Fine. Anyway, took care of the ring. Now, I don't want to hear about the car payment. I don't want to hear about the insurance payment. I don't want to hear about any of that baloney. You two people were together for a long time. Courts don't have the patience. >> Right. >> Judge Judy:<i> I</i> don't have the patience. >> I do want — >> Judge Judy: Hey. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> Judge Judy: And the only thing that I'm hearing from your side of your counterclaim, sir, is you claim that, when you left, you had certain property at the plaintiff's house.
>> Yes, ma'am. >> Judge Judy: On what date did you leave? >> December 9th. >> Judge Judy: Of last year? >> Yes. >> December the 7th. >> Judge Judy: And when you left, what property — and don't — because you were together for a long time. >> Right. >> Judge Judy: So I don't want to hear about kitchen utensils and Tupperware. >> No. >> Judge Judy: I don't care about those things. >> No, ma'am. >> Judge Judy: Don't poke him. >> Mm. Mm-hmm. >> Judge Judy: I want to hear what it is that you think that a person of my stature would be interested in that you left at the house. >> Well, I do have a country band. I left some expensive speakers there. >> Judge Judy: Okay..
