Sounds to me (and it seems several others) that "Mom" is just not wanted to let her son go. Especially if he's an only child, I can see her suddenly realizing this is all very real at the jewler and that she is "losing" her son to another women more or less. You then go from being a welcomed member of the family to a threat to her.
I think tecoyah is correct in saying that no matter what now, do not accept the ring. Of course the final choice is yours, however it's only going to be a catalyst for bringing up these bad feelings and memories in the future.
Talking with her is probably a good idea, and try to make it clear without out and out saying it that you're not out to steal her son away from her, but more so to join the family.
