Lost Diamond Ring Found by Good Samaritan – News Story #3

July 15th, 2008

The lost diamond ring story and the Good Samaritans that found it is another inspiring story about people doing the right thing and being honest. This diamond is also no ordinary diamond – it is a 3 carat ring valued at $40,000 dollars.

This news story is different from ones I had posted in the past, because the owner of the diamond ring has not yet been found. Mervis contacted us directly so that we could also help in finding the ring’s owner. The following is from their blog and also shown below is the video about this story from the Associated Press (AP).

A few days ago a couple walked in to our VA store with a diamond ring they found in the parking garage at Tysons Corner. It was a plain solitaire ring with the name Mervis imprinted in it. The couple came to us, looking to return the ring to its rightful owner. My uncle Zed weighed the center round diamond as 3.02 carats and graded it excellent ideal cut. He estimates the ring and the diamond together are worth around $40,000.
We are trying to track the customer down through our customer list, but given the characteristics of the ring, we determined we sold it over 3 years ago.

If you know someone who recently lost a 3 carat ring, please let us know! I’m sure they’ll be thrilled to know that a kind stranger happened upon it and actually returned it. This is truly unbelievable!
