In 2004, Mary Grams lost her cherished engagement ring while working in her family’s Alberta, Canada farm. Despite a thorough search, the ring seemed lost forever. However, fate had other plans.
Thirteen years later, Mary’s daughter-in-law, Colleen Daley, pulled a peculiar-looking carrot from the same garden. To their astonishment, the carrot was wrapped tightly around Mary’s long-lost diamond ring!
Mary recalled the day she lost the ring, “I thought for sure it was gone for good.” She had worn the ring since 1951, a year before her marriage. To avoid upsetting her husband, Norman, Mary purchased a similar ring and kept the loss a secret.
Years passed, and the family moved away, but they maintained the old farm. In 2017, Colleen discovered the ring-adorned carrot, recognizing it as Mary’s lost treasure. The ring had grown perfectly around the carrot, a peculiar yet fascinating sight.
Overjoyed, Mary reunited with her engagement ring, intending to wear it once more. Though her husband had passed away five years prior, Mary cherished the ring’s return, symbolizing their enduring love story.
