Some poor peasant woman was pulling up carrots and lost her most prized possession, then searched the garden in vain her whole life to find it. 'Someone's found your ring, Love. We'll honor it for you.'

I am tickled that you think that a medieval peasant woman could afford a gold ring with a diamond set into it.

My grandmother lost her wedding ring while planting her veggie garden only to dig it up 20 years later.

>acquired by Henry de Broc (or de la Brook) from Reginald de Mohun (1206–1258), Feudal baron of Dunster in Somerset, who had inherited this land from his first wife Hawise Fleming, daughter and heiress of William Fleming. It then passed by descent through the Brook family, coming into the possession of the wealthy landowner Sir Thomas Brook (c.1355-1418). Due to the exceptionally fine quality of this ring, it was, quite possibly, the wedding ring given by Sir Thomas Brook to his wife Lady Joan Brook for their marriage in 1388
