Bert, a 15 year old boy, purchased a diamond ring from a local jewelry store for $1,000. The jeweler was aware of his age. Ten (10) months later, at the age of 16, Berts girlfriend broke up with Bert and refused to return the ring. Bert returned to the jeweler and sought to disaffirm the contract for the ring. The jeweler argued that he could not do so without Bert returning the ring. Can Bert disaffirm the contract and what must the jeweler do (restore?), if so? Please explain and state the specific area of law that supports your conclusion

I: Under contract law, can Bert disaffirm the contract with the jeweler when he is a minor and purchased a ring from a jeweler but no longer has the ring?
