Ottawa Now - After her aquamarine ring was snatched away, local jeweler gives 90-year-old woman a happy ending

View descriptionShare

After a 90-year-old woman fell victim to a case of distraction theft earlier this Summer, she spent several weeks hoping for the return of her stolen wedding ring. On a normal August day, Terry Thompson was having a smoke outside the Ogilvie Villa Retirement Home, minding her own business. All of a sudden, a woman approached Terry and relentlessly persuaded her to try on cheap jewellery. The next thing she knew, her aquamarine diamond ring had been snatched away by the stranger, a treasured gift from her husband back in 1975. That's when a local jeweler stepped in to help out, creating a replica ring for Terry. Brent Harden, the owner of La Maison d'Or Jewelers, joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
