A groom has paid a heavy price for trying to get the perfect ring for his bride to be.
Simon Hopper has been jailed for 12 weeks after admitting stealing a £1750 symbol of love by swallowing it.
While viewing a selection of rings at a jewellers in Dorchester he waited until the owner’s back was turned then gulped down the ring – price tag and all.
Jeweller Fred Burgess asked Hopper where the ring was.
“He told me he’d given it back to me and I knew he hadn’t so I called the police,” Mr Burgess said.
Officers arrived in a couple of minutes and searched Hopper but could find no trace of the platinum ring.
Then when one of the officers ran a metal detector over his stomach the alarm sounded.
They took him to hospital where an x-ray revealed an object in his stomach that looked suspiciously like the ring in question.
Hopper claimed it must have been a canned drink ring-pull that he had mistakenly swallowed earlier.
Police decided to hold Hopper in a cell until nature took its course.
Mr Burgess told Sky News : “He managed to hold on for four days but then the inevitable happened and I got the ring back.
“It’s had several good cleans. I’m not sure I’ll be revealing it’s background to the future buyer.”
