FERNDALE, MI – James Frisch’s mother wore the ring for decades. And when he placed it on his fiancée’s finger a few months ago, he expected the family heirloom to remain there for decades more.

But when the newly engaged couple was celebrating at the Mega 80s New Year’s Bash.at The Magic Bag in Ferndale, it slipped off her finger. They haven’t seen it since.

“She has a nervous habit of playing with it on her finger,” Frisch told WXYZ-TV. “She slides it up and down. She twirls it. We have only been engaged for a few months so it’s something new.”

Frisch’s fiancée, who wasn’t named in the report, was too distraught to talk about her discovery that the ring was gone as the couple and their friends were leaving the party in a limo.

The couple and their friends spent the first few hours of 2016 scouring the limo and theater for the ring, but didn’t find it. The limo company and The Magic Bag have looked, too.

A picture of the unique ring with one large and three smaller stones was posted on The Magic Bag’s Facebook page, and the theater’s general manager, Robert Littleton, has asked anyone with information about it to contact him.

“It’s bad karma to steal especially something of this magnitude,” Littleton told the TV station. “I hope someone would call up and say, hey I found this and return this to its rightful owner.”

Frisch said the ring has priceless sentimental value.

“We don’t have much,” he said. “We have the ring and the ring meant everything to us.”

The couple is offering a cash reward for the return of the ring with no questions asked. If you know anything about it contact Frisch at Frisch157@gmail.com.
