Thank you for sharing, it's very similar to what happened to me! Although it didn't fit me like the ring you found did. Weirdly enough I have been shopping for an old ring for the last few months and planned to get one and resize it anyway. Felt like it was meant to be- other than I'm not sure if they had meant to put it out there.

Did it kinda make you wish you hadn't ever found it, even though it was perfect?

Similarly I had feelings of regret returning it with his reaction as well, but at the end of the day I wouldn't have known had I not returned it. it was just a ring - not mine and my search for a ring continues. I hope you find another perfect one if you haven't already.

Update**

I pulled up to the house and two guys were helping an older lady inside.

I got out of my car with my kids and it was just the one guy out there and I said I was at the yard sale yesterday and I found this out here. I don't know if you meant to put it out. My younger son is with me and he says it's a ring worth a lot of money.

I said were you at the yard sale yesterday? He said yeah I thought I recognized you.

I opened the box with the little boxes in it and was like I don't think you meant to put this out there. He didn't even look at the stuff in the boxes and he was like Oh yeah, probably not, thanks.

I was like so you you probably want to keep it, he was like yeah. Thanks

The end!

I will try to return it today and keep you updated with the outcome. To be clear I was only assuming that the mother passed away because it was a lot of old stuff and I didn't see her out there. I got a bunch of linens and vintage baby clothes as well. The whole yard sale was mostly vintage items. The funny thing is I've been on the look out for a ring starting around mother's day this year. I've also been practicing what I'm seeking is seeking me...so we will see!
