Woman Regains Smile With Diamond Ring

Published on 05/03/09

A US woman has had the smile put back on her face after months of torment thanks to a jewel-encrusted ring.

Veronica Riley endured mental and physical anguish after being diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2007, reports John Simpson of the Southern Star.

The 24-year-old was later given the all-clear by doctors and received more exciting news when her boyfriend proposed to her.

Despite this, her bad luck struck again when she returned to employment and suffered a dislocated finger while having a massage at her workplace, the source adds.

While treating the injury Ms Riley saw her engagement band cut from her finger due to swelling, lovers of gold diamond rings may be concerned to hear.

However, she is now happy once again, after winning a replacement ring in a competition, which has now been fitted.

Earlier this week, a bride-to-be accidentally swallowed a gemstone-covered band after her partner placed it in her drink as a way of proposing, lovers of platinum diamond rings may remember.
