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 her diamond.
>> 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.
Her 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 this ring.
>> Mm.
>> Judge Judy: This ring,
with this center stone,
did not cost $999.
The mounting and the sizing did
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 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.
