Diamond Engagement Rings Specialist

Ever heard of a $40,000 ring being lost in mud? According to the company that sold the ring, it happens often enough. Not all the items that are lost turn up. Often they are gone forever and if they are found, even laser inscriptions don’t often help in tracing the real owners. Though the angles of a diamond’s cut can help identify it, it is hardly like a fingerprint where one could trace a specific customer. What’s more, people might report the theft of a ring but when it’s lost, they might feel terrible but don’t bother to report it.

People are careless about their jewelry. Often they are left on towels on the beach, where they get lost in the sand. Mervis’s company uses details like a diamond’s cut to trace it to the owner. But that does not always help. The best chance for a reunion is when a customer turns up claiming a ring. The $ 40,000 ring recently found by Keith and Linda Stetzer had no identifying details except the company’s stamp.

A lot of class rings and engagement rings are being misplaced these days. Strangely, owners do turn up, sometimes after long intervals. A Michigan woman got back her class ring after 15 long years. She had dropped it in Lake Michigan. What about the Utah woman who dismantled a dish water dryer and garbage disposal searching for her $7000 ring. It turned up all right, but on another woman’s finger. The owner’s husband spotted it - after all he was the Sheriffs deputy!

No day passes without people searching for their lost rings. Women take them off, leave them in all odd places, they slip off and go down the drain, sometimes the wearer has no idea just when the ring slipped off her finger. However rings, especially when they are diamond engagement rings, have a special sentimental value attached to them so the loss is always felt deeply.
