Hugh Hefner's ex-financee's ring to be auctioned at bargain price
(CBS) Now that it's certain that the wedding is off between Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner and his 25-year-old bride-that-wasn't-to-be Crystal Harris, it's time to get rid of those unhappy reminders of the special day. And, it seems Harris is starting with the engagement ring.
The ring, a 3.39 carat platinum stunner estimated to be worth $90,000, is expected to go for a bargain price of $20,000 to $30,000 during an auction at Christie's in New York.

Harris reportedly tried to return the ring, along with a Bentley that Hefner had gotten her, back in June when she dumped him just days before their wedding.. Although he refused to take those gifts back, Hefner opened the Playboy mansion's doors for the ex-couple's King Charles Cavalier, Charlie.
"Crystal brought Charlie back because she thinks he's happier here & I appreciate it, because I really missed him," Hefner tweeted.
