Woman Discovers Lost Engagement Ring 13 Years Later—On a Carrot (Page 2 ) | April 9, 2025

A Bittersweet Discovery
Mary reflected on the lost ring and its unexpected return, expressing regret for not telling her husband about the loss when it happened. He had passed away eight years before the ring was found, and she believes he would have found the situation amusing. “He was a joker,” she said. Now that the ring is back in her possession, Mary vows to be more careful. “If I’m going outside, I’ll put it in a safe place. That’s what I should have done,” she admitted.

Not the First Time a Ring Was Found on a Carrot
Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time a ring has been discovered on a carrot. In Sweden, Lena Paahlsson lost her wedding ring in 1995 while baking in her kitchen. After years of searching—even lifting floor tiles during renovations—she had given up hope. But 16 years later, while harvesting carrots in her garden, Lena spotted her white gold band, adorned with seven small diamonds, wrapped around a carrot. “The carrot was sprouting in the middle of the ring. It’s quite incredible,” her husband Ola told reporters.

The couple speculated that the ring had fallen into the sink back in 1995, ending up in vegetable peels that were either composted or fed to their sheep. Lena, overjoyed by the discovery, plans to resize the band so she can wear it again. “Now that I’ve found the ring, I want to be able to use it,” she said.

These stories serve as a reminder that sometimes, lost treasures have a way of finding their way back to us—often in the most unexpected ways.
