Husband Accidentally Sells Her $23,000 Diamond Wedding Ring For $10! [VIDEO]

A woman has revealed her distress at discovering her husband had accidentally sold her $23,000 diamond wedding ring for $10.

Racquel Cloutier, 31, from Laguna Niguel, California, had been in hospital after welcoming her fifth child when her husband, Eric, decided to clear out their home and sell unused items at a community garage sale on June 1st.

Unbeknown to him, though, she had hidden her precious ring in an old watch box, which ended up being among the items for sale.
Mrs Cloutier told ABC News:

"Every year our community holds a garage sale. I was in the hospital, I just had a baby, so my husband thought it would be fun for my other kids if they could sell some things at the garage sale. 'He didn’t know that before I went to the hospital, I put my ring in that box. I wanted the ring to be in a safe place and out of reach from my two-year-old twins."

Mrs Cloutier realized her ring was missing when she came home from hospital on June 5th.

"I go into my husband’s closet, can’t find the box, and then he tells me he sold it,' she recalled .I said, "You sold it? What do you mean you sold it?" I immediately started crying."

Mr Cloutier, who 'feels really terrible,' says the box was purchased by a blonde woman who had been mulling over whether to buy it or not.

The couple are hoping that the buyer is honest enough to come forth and return the ring.
