A Tennessee couple is suing a jeweler who they claim failed to compensate them for an engagement ring lost to theft.

“They had it in their case when FedEx lost the package,” King noted on TikTok.

“We never heard anything from them,” she alleged in aseparate TikTok video. “They never offered to compensate us. They never reached out to our lawyers to compensate us.”

King Jewlers told PEOPLE in a statement that they had “offered several options to rectify the situation” with the couple, including “creating a custom engagement ring using a superior-grade gemstone at no charge” or “compensating the client at fair market value.”

“Despite our efforts, the situation has escalated publicly and legally,” the company continued in their statement. “While we respect our clients’ right to express dissatisfaction, we maintain that we followed proper procedures.”

In the complaint, the groom and bride stated that King Jewelers “coordinated an outrageous campaign of slander” and were falsely accusing them of “extortion” and other crimes”.

King shared on TikTok that she and Blankship did eventually get engaged, but the couple still intends to move forward with legal proceedings against the company.

“I do feel like in the midst of the chaos, we got a happy ending — we got engaged, we got a beautiful engagement ring, we got to celebrate with our friends,” King said. “We don’t want people to go down this route and feel stuck and hopeless.”
