Story about the Ring

"The 4-Era Ring is named after the four generations. Some say it is named so because of the four precious jewels engraved on it- Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, and Diamond. Your great great great grandfather is the one who made this ring for your great great great grandmother" Sha Sha narrates, a smile on her face as she says. "Since then it has been passed on to generation after generation. It was a symbol of pure love and prosperity until..." she pauses, her smile fades as she glances at Shi Lian. 

"Until?" Shi Lian presses, eagerly waiting for her to say. 

"Until it was the reason of clashes and family fights. I don't know much about the story because I wasn't one of them yet, but according to what your father had told me, I can only say that" Sha Sha tells her. 

Shi Lian nods, gesturing her to go on. The story is completely different from what she had thought.
