NTA for getting angry at all – an engagement ring is a deeply personal thing and is intended for only the finger of the bride to be.

It’s not some communal property to be worn by whoever fancies it for an evening. She stepped well over a line that you’ve told her about many times.

You really need to ignore the superstition though, it makes no sense, and even if it did work it probably only refers to other lovers and not just random people trying it on without permission.
