I bought my wife a 'fake ' diamond ring for the engagement ring.
She couldn't tell her snooty friends that though, so she went and bought herself a very expensive ring with real diamonds.
She had the ring I bought her melted into my wedding band. I hate jewellery though so had no intention of wearing it. I agreed to wear it for a week after we got married. I've never worn it again. I haven't even seen it since that first week. Over a decade. I wonder if it's just lost, or she has it somewhere still.
I don't care enough to ask.
Sounds dysfunctional, but then you said a decade has passed, so maybe not.
it's hard to know the extent to which the comment represents the marriage. otoh, if one were to read their comment and leave thinking "sounds like a normal, healthy marriage to me", that imo would be a premium red flag on the reader.
