The owner of a “fabulous” sapphire and diamond ring – with great sentimental value – has appealed for its return after it was stolen during a “ransacking” of her Markethill home.
The eye-catching ring was taken from the property on the evening of October 22 along with several other items of gold jewellery.
Appealing for its safe return, the owner, Marbeth posted via her Facebook page, ‘Markethill Affordable Fashion’: “I know this is a long shot but I’ve nothing to loose. My fabulous sapphire and diamond ring was stolen from our home along with other gold jewellery on Wednesday night.
“This ring was very special to me.
