Crouch End musician Kirsty Newton has launched an internet hunt for the diamond encrusted ring after her “most treasured possession” fell off her finger on Wednesday, November 30.
The 35-year-old has appealed to Hornsey Journal readers to help in her search - as well as a Twitter campaign - citing the most likely locations to be opposite the King’s Head pub in The Broadway, where she lives, or Crouch End’s Shell garage in Park Road.
Other possible locations include Sheffield Memorial Hall, where she was performing, and the Watford Gap service station - both of which have no sightings.
It has a thin, white gold band with a round brilliant diamond set between two eye-shaped marquise diamonds.
She said: “It had been a really stressful month and I had lost a bit of weight. I could feel it was slightly loose but didn’t think it would fall off.
“I was so tired it wasn’t until my boyfriend held my hand outside our flat that he noticed.”
Miss Newton and her fiancé Nick Broody got engaged two years ago during a discussion on marriage with his father. Mr Broody, a comedian, made up for this straightforward proposal by buying the ring of her dreams.
“After trying on hundreds we found the most perfect ring. I gasped and said: ‘That’s the one!’ Then I saw the price so I told him not to worry about it as he couldn’t afford it.”
But Mr Broody sneaked back to the shop to buy it and Miss Newton had not taken it off since.
“I’ve had nightmares about this happening before and woken up in sweats only to be relieved it was just a dream,” she said.
“Now it has actually happened and I just feel sick every time I think about it. It’s my most treasured possession.”
The couple hope to get married next year and Miss Newton has offered anyone who recovers the ring an invite to the wedding.
