Woman Loses Diamond Ring Handing Out Candy

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - A woman in Ohio is hoping she gets her wedding ring back after the ring slipped off her finger while she was giving candy to trick-or-treaters.

Elizabeth Olson of Terrace Park hopes a little bit of luck and prayer will bring back the 3-diamond anniversary ring. She believes she lost it during Saturday night's Halloween festivities.

"So I had it enlarged and then when it got cold you know your fingers get smaller. I noticed that it was spinning around more than it had been before, but I didn't realize that it would slip off," explained Elizabeth to WXIX-TV . "So as I was throwing candy in pillow cases and buckets, I threw my ring too."

Some little trick-or-treater is now in the possession of a three diamond vintage ring.

"She didn't tell me till [Sunday]. But when she told me I just really felt sorry for her," said her husband Stefan.

Stefan did what any husband would do: he called everyone he knew including the local media to get the word out and try to find the ring.

"We're thinking that normally after Halloween, the kids empty their bags and buckets and sort-it out," said Stefan. "Hopefully some little kid has a stack with a diamond ring on it."

Elizabeth is stressed, but hasn't lost her sense of humor and faith in karma.

"You're disappointed. It's not like I'm the first or last person that it has happened to. I just hope that it finds its way back," said Elizabeth.

A man in Edmonton, Canada, also lost a ring while handing out candy. The Vancouver Sun reported that James Fearn lost his gold wedding band Saturday night and is hoping it is returned.
