Savannah Chrisley’s Fiancé Jason Galanis Was Once Sued Over an Unpaid $40,000 Balance on a $120,000 Diamond Bracelet

Newly uncovered court documents reveal that Jason Galanis, the newly announced fiancé of reality television star Savannah Chrisley, was once sued in Los Angeles Superior Court over an unpaid $40,000 balance on a custom $120,000 diamond bracelet.

The civil action, filed in January 2012 by Beverly Hills jewelry business Six Swords LLC, targeted Galanis and his then-wife for failing to finish paying off the luxury piece. While the high-profile romance between the 29-year-old “Chrisley Knows Best” star and the 56-year-old businessman is dominating headlines today, the legal filing highlights an older chapter of financial disputes that trailed Galanis long before his latest spotlight.

Inside the $120,000 Custom Diamond Bracelet Dispute

According to court filings obtained by Page Six, the transaction began in December 2010 when Galanis and his then-spouse agreed to purchase a custom “15 Row Diamond Bracelet” priced at $120,000.

The contract mandated a $60,000 upfront deposit, with the remaining $60,000 split across three consecutive monthly installments of $20,000 each. The Beverly Hills jeweler delivered the completed bracelet as promised, but the complaint stated that the buyers defaulted on the final two scheduled deadlines set for February 28 and March 31, 2011.

Faced with the missing payments, Six Swords LLC sued the couple for breach of contract, goods sold and delivered, account stated, and open book account. The jeweler demanded the remaining $40,000 balance alongside interest, legal fees, and administrative court expenses.

How the Beverly Hills Lawsuit Was Resolved

Public records show that a formal judgment was entered against Galanis and his former partner on August 3, 2012. However, the matter did not remain in default indefinitely.

On December 10, 2012, a subsequent court filing confirmed the judgment was satisfied in full. The official docket does not specify who made the remittance or how the outstanding balance was settled, and the couple later divorced in 2018.

A History of High-Stakes Federal Convictions

While the luxury jewelry case played out in civil court, Jason Galanis soon encountered far more severe federal legal problems.

In September 2020, Galanis received a federal prison sentence of more than 14 years for participating in extensive fraud schemes. The operations included a multimillion-dollar conspiracy that defrauded investors and a Native American tribe out of tens of millions of dollars.

His prison trajectory later intersected directly with the Chrisley family circle. Galanis served time at a federal prison camp in Florida alongside Savannah’s father, Todd Chrisley, where their terms overlapped between January and August 2023.

President Donald Trump commuted the sentence of Jason Galanis in March 2025. Two months later, in May 2025, Trump granted full pardons to Todd and Julie Chrisley following their convictions for bank fraud and tax evasion.

Public Perception vs. Documented Reality: How the Couple Actually Met

Widespread social media speculation assumed Savannah Chrisley met her partner through prison visiting rooms while visiting her father. However, recorded statements from Chrisley herself establish a different timeline.

On her “Unlocked” podcast, Savannah explained that the pair crossed paths in political circles while she campaigned aggressively for her parents’ prison release. The relationship turned romantic months later, leading to a December 2025 engagement in the Cayman Islands after five months of dating.

“I really don’t care, OK? Like, this person is the love of my life,” Savannah stated on her podcast, describing Galanis as her “protector,” “fiercest fighter,” and “most loyal person.”

Addressing online pushback over their 27-year age gap and Galanis’s past record, the expectant mother shared sonogram images and defended their growing family.

“You are not a headline. You are not a controversy. You are not defined by anyone’s past, anyone’s mistakes, or anyone’s opinions,” she wrote to her unborn child.

The couple has officially scheduled their wedding for May 2027.
