Things are getting ugly between former lovers Vikram Chatwal and Esther Cañadas, who wants the $300,000 engagement ring he gave her back since they’ve called off the wedding. The millionaire hotelier has filed a lawsuit, stating: “The plaintiff, Vikram Chatwal, believed his dream had come true when defendant, Esther Cañadas, accepted his marriage proposal, but his dream morphed into a nightmare when upon the termination of the engagement, the defendant left the United States with the engagement ring as the spoils of the romance.” The couple became engaged in September 2013 and she’s reportedly living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Last week it was reported that the vintage Cartier ring from Sotheby’s is worth a mere $81,250, aka the price of a t-shirt from The Row. We kid!
