Earthworks in Neubrandenburg: Mysterious ring is looking for its owner!
Amazing discoveries sometimes enrich everyday life. While doing earthworks in Neubrandenburg, Erik Baum found a ring that seems to be more than just a piece of jewelry. During his work he came across a ring that had a circumferential groove and an uneven surface. On the inside you can read the engraving “Ela 06/20/14”. Erik suspects that it is real silver and is determined to return the ring to its rightful owner.
“This is the first time that I have found something so strange during my earthworks,” said Erik Baum. For now, the ring sits safely on his desk, waiting to be discovered and returned. To speed up the process, he even posted the ring on a regional Facebook group in hopes that the owner would get in touch. Anyone interested can contact Erik Baum by email to find out more about the ring.
A deeper meaning
But the find also raises questions about the meaning and symbolism of rings. Rings are much more than just pieces of jewelry. Wedding rings in particular reflect the personality of a couple and often have individual engravings. Traditionally they were simple gold rings, but today materials such as apricot gold and carbon are very popular. The use of diamonds and other gemstones for personalization is also common. In modern weddings, the double ring ceremony is common, in which both partners exchange rings to symbolize their loyalty and commitment.
Such traditions not only create solidarity, but also demonstrate the appreciation of shared life. Therefore, Erik Baum has found a treasure that goes far beyond its material value. The engraving on the ring “Ela 06/20/14” could tell a very personal story.
Now all we can do is hope that the rightful owner gets his ring back to relive the memories associated with it. If you would like to find out more about this interesting find, please check out Erik's Facebook group or contact him directly by email.
