First, Albinus, the shopkeeper of the jewelry store, is described, along with the contents he sells. The narrator talks abou how many women who have rich husbands are able to buy jewelry. Albinus is advertising, and although Medus tries to avoid going into the shop, Lydia is fascinated with the rings, but Medus is unhappy with the price of the rings, as he begins to negotiate with Albinus. Lydia begins to cry, so Medus is forced to spend all of his coins that he stole from Iulius. The ring is too small for her middle finger, so Medus fits the ring onto Lydia's ring finger. Lydia plants a kiss on Medus.
