Call me cynical, but a ring with an empty socket and a pleading press release would a cheap way to drive up cookie sales.

My basic chemistry knowledge made me wonder if being baked in the oven would turn the diamond into graphite, meaning that people should be looking for a small bit of pencil lead instead.

But I looked it up, and the oven would need to be 1,700°C for that to happen.
