There were many costume jewellery pieces that had been donated and a retired jeweller who was sorting through them was suddenly taken aback when he realized he was holding a diamond ring in his hand.

Well, after that, a certified gemmologist was asked to help and he said it was a European cut diamond which he valued at nearly £12,000! The ring could have come from anywhere as the donations from thousands of people were collected and brought to a centralised location. The charity is very grateful to the unknown donor.

The ring was lost somewhere in the Worcester, Malvern or Upton areas and the police have put out an appeal to anyone who might have found it. If anyone has seen or found the ring, they are being asked to contact the police stations in these areas.

With fabulously expensive diamond rings on her finger and a summery dress, Coleen, Wayne Rooney’s wife, was back in the public eye, opening an Argos store.

It looks like Coleen loves being a mother and this is her first public appearance since she had their baby in November. She is still on maternity leave from her other regular commitments.

So she cut the ribbon, stood around for the mandatory photographs and signed autographs and all the while, her fabulous diamond rings flashed – her £250,000 diamond wedding ring and her £200,000 diamond ring which was a present from Wayne – and it has a 10-carat diamond.
