Facts
H is an associate professor of medicine at the University of Kentucky. W has a master’s degree in library science and has worked occasionally during the marriage, usually part-time. H is forty-eight years of age and W is thirty-nine. H was given custody of the couple's three teenage sons, and W was given custody of their ten-year-old daughter. The trial court considered certain jewelry and other items of personal property which H presented to Mrs. W on her birthday, at Christmas and other occasions as W's personal property. The items were purchased out of H's salary and included a ring with an appraised value of $35,000.00 and other jewelry with an appraised value of $15,900.00. The circuit court held that these items were gifts and should not be included in marital property. H appealed.
