Sometimes a headline is all you need. The story is pretty much as it says. This from Business Insider:

“In 1970, the two were playing a game of ping-pong at their chalet in Gstaad. Burton promised her that if she scored 10 points against him, he’d buy her a diamond.

She scored 30. He set off to find the smallest diamonds he could in town. And the pair to the right are what he returned with.

These rings became know as “the ping-pong rings.”

Could that be any cooler?
