Rock Candy? Boy Finds Engagement Ring In Halloween Loot

I'm sure this should read 14 karat, as in gold, but a good story to pass along...

Rock Candy? Boy Finds Engagement Ring In Halloween Loot

Ring's Owner Plans To Send Reward

NATICK, Mass. -- One Massachusetts woman was a lot more generous to Halloween trick-or-treaters than she intended to be.

Seven-year-old Hunter Campbell's candy haul included a 14-carat diamond engagement ring.

The ring slipped off a newlywed's finger as she doled out the treats in Natick, a town west of Boston. She'd just had the ring re-sized and it was a little bigger than normal.

The woman, Paulie Andreosatos-Gavin, spent a panicked evening looking for the ring before calling police.

Luckily for her, the boy's parents turned in the ring as soon as they spotted it in the candy.

The bride told the MetroWest Daily News she will send the trick-or-treater a reward.
