Diamond Ring Found on Carrot After 13 Years of Loss
A Canadian woman lost her diamond engagement ring while working as a farmer. 13 years later, a carrot grew and brought with it a ring 🥕💍
In a heartwarming tale of serendipity, a Canadian grandmother stumbled upon her lost engagement ring nestled snugly around a carrot’s stem, 13 years after it had slipped from her finger.
Mary Grams, now 84, had accidentally dropped the diamond-studded ring while weeding the family farm in Alberta, Canada, back in 2004. Despite exhaustive searches by both herself and her son, the ring remained elusive, leaving Grams devastated at the loss of the precious keepsake.
The ring held immense sentimental value for Grams, having been a gift from her husband, Norman, before they were married in 1951. To mask its disappearance, Grams secretly purchased a replacement ring, confiding in only her son about the mishap, and kept the charade hidden from everyone else for over a decade.
However, fate intervened earlier this week when Grams’ daughter-in-law stumbled upon a peculiar-looking carrot. Wrapped tightly around its root was none other than Grams’ long-lost engagement ring.
“I knew right away. My daughter-in-law found it while pulling up carrots for supper,” Grams exclaimed.
Colleen Daley, Grams’ daughter-in-law, admitted she hadn’t noticed anything unusual when harvesting the carrots and had nearly discarded the oddly-shaped one. However, upon reflection, she decided to wash the carrot and discovered the ring embedded within.
Daley believed the ring could only belong to her mother-in-law or herself, as no other women lived on the farm. After discussing the find with her husband, he recalled his mother’s lost ring from years before.
Though Grams wished she had come clean to her late husband about the mishap, who had passed away five years earlier, she expressed immense joy at being reunited with the ring after all these years.
“If I’m going outside or doing anything, I’m going to put it in a safe place. That’s what I should have done,” Grams reflected.
Grams is not the only one to have found a lost ring after many years. In 2011, a woman in Sweden discovered her lost wedding ring, missing for 16 years, in her carrot garden. These heartwarming stories serve as reminders that sometimes, even after years of loss, treasures can be found in the most unexpected places.
