After a Christmas proposal the band had not yet been fitted and slipped off Ms Waddell's finger and into a pile of ice and snow, owners of platinum diamond rings may nbe concerned to learn.

Fiance Ben Bloemer told the news provider about the conditions the couple were faced with.

He said: "It all started to clump together and then the freezing because all the snow was turning into big clumps so the ring could have been anywhere in there."

Just as it seemed all was lost, firefighters came to the rescue and retrieved the item thanks to the use of specialist apparatus to sift their way through the eight inches of snow and ice, lovers of gold diamond rings may be interested to hear.

Recently, a couple won a gemstone covered band as part of a Heart FM radio competition.
