A Canadian man dug through piles of rubbish at his local dump to find his wife's accidentally discarded wedding rings.

More power to Tay Tay. No, seriously, more power to her. She’s taught most of us something new about engagement rings, although the price is confusing. It went from $500,000 to $5m, which wouldn’t be a gap you’d be comfortable with unless you were Travis Kelce and herself. Cubic zirconia, though, it isn’t. That’s for sure. Nor is it lab-grown. It has lots of carats and is a mine-cut, which you don’t need me to explain to you.
The day when Taylor Swift’s acquisition of the ring emerged wasn’t quite marred by her father-in-law-to-be (if the wind continues to be in the right direction and the force is with her) but him telling the world that she was “getting antsy” about when her now fiancé would propose wasn’t what any girl wants to have said about her.
