I've actually wondered on more than one occasion how Jillian and Roberto would be as a couple. :cutesmile!:

I think he would certainly treat her much, much better than Ed and while famous herself, Jillian never struck me as the "famewhore" type.

Jillian is answering questions on FB right now and is being particularly open and honest about Ed, Michael S., the ring and more. For anyone interested, here is the link...

She again confirms that she got to keep the ring. I wonder why they let her keep it before getting to the 2 year point.

Thanks, Litta. That was really interesting, and Jillian is so great. I read a few weeks ago that she still had the ring Ed gave her. I was surprised to hear that for a number of reasons, chief among them that I think she had the worst ring in franchise history, hands down! But I'm surprised she got to keep it, as she mentioned tonight. I wonder why she didn't have to give it back? Anyone know?

Maybe they felt bad that she was gong to pick Ed so they gave her a parting gift? giggling

I really don't know why (and this idea is crazy I know) but maybe they just didn't want to put her through anymore than they already did in making her return it.

I was kinda thinking that too. And maybe because they also knew she'd been sincere in her feelings for Ed and really had wanted things to work out.

Maybe, but if so, why did Ali have to return her ring? I mean, regardless of how it ended, there's no denying that she and Roberto were sincerely in love. Also, their relationship lasted longer than Jed's and MF loved her. Anyway, great for Jillian that she got to keep it, although I wish it was a much prettier ring!

Maybe she asked if she could keep it. Jillian is also fairly beloved by the franchise. I know, for sure, that I wouldn't have kept it.

Maybe Neil Lane just didn't want the ugly thing back. :P

Maybe she paid for it no idea

If she really wanted it that much, and was hoping that she and Ed would work out someday.... who knows? Love makes you do crazy things

This is my thinking. Short of her signing a different contract I can't think of another reason for her being able to keep the ring short of the 2 year time frame. If she or Ed paid for the ring at the time of their engagement or after they broke up, then that voids the contract stipulaion to return it. They can't make you return a ring you paid for, only one that the show paid for and gave you. Andre Firestone, for example, I believe paid for the ring he gave Jen even though he used the shows advertised, pre-agreed upon jeweler.
