MEMPHIS, Tenn. ( WREG ) – A New Orleans couple is asking for the public’s help finding a one-of-a-kind heirloom engagement ring lost during shipping.
Clarissa Mulloy and Victor Clarke said the diamond and sapphire gold ring was being shipped through FedEx to a Jewelry Store in San Antonio, Texas, when it disappeared in Memphis.
“It was going back to the original jeweler because the band broke,” said Mulloy. “We sent it out on the 17th of April. The same day, it made it to St. Rose, Louisiana. Then it went on to Memphis, and the same day, they determined the package was damaged.”

Mulloy said two weeks later, FedEx told them the package was open, and the contents were gone. She said the ring was carefully wrapped, and she believes it was stolen.
“It was known that there was extra insurance on the package, and the jeweler’s address was on the package,” Mulloy said. “There was evidence that there could be valuable items inside the package.”
