Husband Tries to Overturn Divorce Order with Claim About £2m Diamond 

A husband who claimed his wife had concealed a £2 million diamond from him during divorce proceedings has failed to overturn their financial settlement. 

Case Background 

The couple had been married for several years and had two children. Under the 2021 settlement, the husband received the family home, and the wife retained other assets, including an inheritance. The husband later claimed the wife had a £2 million diamond that should have been part of their joint assets. 

Court Proceedings 

The wife denied knowledge of the diamond. The husband, believing the diamond was sold at auction, called the auctioneer to give evidence. The auctioneer confirmed that the wife did not match the seller’s description and provided evidence that the diamond came from a seller in Antwerp. 

Court’s Decision 

The judge found the wife to be a credible witness and dismissed the husband’s application due to lack of credible evidence supporting his claim.
