Diamond Engagement Rings

You might wonder why women feel the need to take their rings off when they apply lotion on their hands – but so many of them do. Well, that’s what happened to Mina Shim in Connecticut. The ring was off, she was applying some lotion when her phone rang and she was so busy talking, she got out of the car, emptied some trash, got back in and the family drove off. It was miles later that she realized that her diamond ring was missing and they turned around.

Now this ring was rather special. Her in-laws had given it to her when her daughter was born and it was the ring that her husband’s grandfather had given to his wife seven decades ago in Egypt. The couple had travelled a lot through Egypt ad Europe so the ring was well travelled too. The family scoured the parking lot where they had stopped but found nothing. Days passed and in desperation, Mina wondered whether she should contact Oprah Winfrey.

Meanwhile, her ring had been found – by someone who thought it was too large to be real. A friend remembered seeing an ad on craigslist.com and that was how the person who found it contacted Mina. Mina and her husband drove back, wondering at the miracle that had made getting back this ring which had so much sentimental value possible and thanking their lucky stars that it had been found by an honest man who found and restored a huge diamond ring to them. Not often do you find such honesty.
