NEW YORK (WABC) — A woman who lost her engagement ring while running the New York City Half Marathon received news on Wednesday from a jeweler who wants to help with her emotional and sentimental loss.
Big Apple Jewels in the Diamond District has offered to make a replacement ring for Isabel Lahn-Schroeder.
She believes she lost her ring around mile ten in the area of Central Park South.
The couple tried to look for the ring but had not had any luck.
On Wednesday, the owner of Big Apple Jewels delivered the great news.
“What we’d like to do is make you a replica of the exact same ring that you lost without any pay. We’re happy that you came out to New York, ran the marathon and it’s an opportunity for us to take part in your special day that will last with the family and with you forever,” Zak Nissanov with Big Apple Jewels said.
The ring was originally a tie clasp and when the family member who owned it passed away, one of the female family members turned it into a ring and it has been passed down to generations ever since.
The jeweler said hopefully, the new ring can create new traditions for the family.
