A Manhattan man is suing his ex-fiancée because she ended their engagement but won’t return the pricey, custom-made ring.

Philip Langer, 45, proposed to leggy blonde Ashley Jae Chesler, 43, just three months after they met in a Manhattan bar.

He thought he sealed the deal with a stunning sparkler that featured a 2.52 carat diamond surrounded by 34 rubies and another 55 smaller diamonds, according to court papers. Langer spent $30,000 to have it made.

But Chesler called off the relationship.

Months have gone by — but Chesler allegedly still hasn’t returned the fancy piece of finger candy.

State law requires her to return the ring, Langer says in court papers. He wants a judge to force Chesler to give the ring back or pay him what it’s worth.

Chesler could not be reached for comment.
