Cage Threw Lisa Marie's $65K Ring Overboard

Priscilla Presley’s memoir Softly As I Leave You recounts an "epic" fight on Nicolas Cage’s yacht off Catalina Island in which Lisa Marie Presley threw her six‑carat, $65,000 engagement ring at Cage and he angrily tossed it into the Pacific. Cage reportedly sent divers to search for the ring but it was not recovered; two days later he purchased a larger, roughly ten‑carat diamond and re‑proposed. Priscilla describes the relationship as volatile and "dizzying," marked by frequent breakups, explosive tempers and passionate reconciliations. The couple married in Hawaii on August 10, 2002, but the union lasted about 107 days and their divorce was finalized in 2004.
