Woman Finds Wedding Ring After 16 Years

A woman from Sweden has been reunited with her wedding ring – sixteen years after losing it.

According to newspaper Dagens Nyheter, the woman, Lena Paahlsson, had long ago lost hope of finding her wedding ring again.

The white-gold band, set with seven small diamonds, was Mrs Paahlsson's own design. She believed she originally lost the ring in the kitchen of the family home in 1995.

Paahlsson and her family live on a farm near Mora, central Sweden.

Having removed the item to do some Christmas baking with her daughters, Paahlsson said the ring disappeared from the work surface where it had been left.

The family carried out an extensive search for the ring, even removing the floor tiles during renovations.

It was only when Mrs Paahlsson was pulling carrots from the garden that she noticed one had the missing gold band securely fastened around it.

Speaking to the newspaper, Paahlsson's husband, Ola, said: "The carrot was sprouting in the middle of the ring. It is quite incredible."

Sixteen years after it went missing, the couple now believe the ring fell into a sink and was lost among vegetable peelings that were either turned into compost, or fed to their sheep.

Mrs Paahlsson said the ring no longer fits, but hopes to have it enlarged so she can wear it again.

She said: "I had given up hope. Now that I have found the ring again I want to be able to use it."
