Below, you can read about unusual diamond finds, a bizarre crime, a unique engagement ring and more. These stories are funny, puzzling, sometimes disturbing and occasionally disgusting.
Man steals jewellery by pretending to be a doll in a shop window
In October, a 22-year-old man in Warsaw, Poland, wanted to rob a local clothing store. So he stood still in the shop window long enough to avoid the store's security cameras. After closing the mall, he robbed the jewelry island. He may have gotten away with this crazy plan.
If he hadn't returned to the mall a few days later and tried to steal more stuff. Whether you think this idea was clever or stupid, the man's subsequent actions definitely fall on the side of stupid. And we should note that this trick has been done before.
Doctor finds diamond in woman's ear
In October reports emerged that a woman from Xi'an, China had gone to her doctor after several weeks of ear pain. Eventually the doctor discovered the problem: She had a diamond in her ear. The woman had lost the diamond, which was originally part of an earring, a month earlier.
The bride learns that the engagement ring contains a piece of her tooth
A man made an amazing confession during his wedding in May. The engagement ring he gave the bride contained a piece of her tooth. The woman had broken two teeth during a mountain climbing trip they took together. He wanted to commemorate the moment. “That little stone in your ring is made of dentin and enamel,” the groom said. “Your dentin and enamel.” The clip has since garnered over 3 million views.
Man faking arrest for proposal
We have seen many creative proposals over the years, but some may find this proposal a little too creative. In June, Shane Archie showed up at his girlfriend's birthday party in the backyard with his hands handcuffed behind his back, accompanied by a man with a badge and a gun. He apologized for ruining her birthday, then got down on his knees and asked for her hand. The bride later wrote on Facebook. “I went from 0 to 1000 and had about 20 different Cancer feelings all at once.”.
Jeweller prevented from importing giraffe excrement for her work
In late September, customs officials stopped a woman at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. The woman was returning from Kenya with what was described as a “small box of poop.” Unfortunately (for her), it is illegal to import feces into the United States. When agents questioned her, they were not deterred by her explanation that she “intended to use the feces to make a necklace, as she had done in the past with deer feces.”.
Thus, its valuable cargo was seized and destroyed. Which means that giraffe jewelry sadly remains an unrealized dream.
The jewellery she bought for her child from the second-hand shop is worth thousands of euros
Thea Jourdan says she found the brooch, “covered in a layer of dust”, in a box in a second-hand shop in London. She bought it for $24 and gave it to her daughter, who likes to dress up. When Jourdan went to appraise her engagement ring, the jeweler spotted the pin. “To my shock, he said the 27 clear stones were diamonds,” Jourdan told The Sun. Even more shocking: The pink stone in the middle turned out to be a nearly flawless 20-carat topaz worth about $2,000. “You never know when you might stumble upon a gem,” Jourdan noted.
British woman marries herself
Tired of searching for love, Sarah Wilkinson, a 42-year-old credit controller, decided to buy the engagement ring she had long wanted and pop the question to herself. Her self-marriage followed, an elaborate affair that cost her £10,000 and included 14 vows she pledged to honour and a cake on top of which the bride kisses a frog. “It was such a beautiful day that everyone was there,” she said later. “And why not?”
