Not the first time a ring was found on a carrot
Surprisingly, this is not the first time a diamond ring was discovered on a carrot. A Swedish woman found her missing wedding ring 16 years after she had lost it! Lena Paahlsson lost hope in finding her ring in 1995 after it went missing in her kitchen. She took the ring off and placed it on a surface she had been baking on.
The family searched all over, even taking up the tiling during renovations years later hoping they would find it. It was not until 16 years later that Lena would discover the ring while pulling up carrots in her garden when she noticed the white gold band, set with seven small diamonds. “The carrot was sprouting in the middle of the ring. It is quite incredible,” her husband Ola said to the newspaper.
The couple suspects that the ring fell down a sink back in 1995 and was lost among vegetable peels that were either turned into compost or fed to their sheep. “I had given up hope,” Mrs. Paahlsson said, also mentioning that she would like to have the band widened so that she can wear it once again. “Now that I have found the ring again I want to be able to use it,” she said.
