NEED TO KNOW<\/p>\n

After one of her friends discovered five men’s wedding bands at South Padre Island, Andrea Wright attempted to track down their owners on social media<\/p>\n

“If they can describe the pattern, the material, the size \u2014 if it’s light or heavy, what color \u2014 then we can definitely get it back,” she said<\/p>\n

Before long, a man named Jonathan was reunited with his lost ring one month after it disappeared during a trip to the beach<\/p>\n

A Texas woman helped a couple find their lost wedding band \u2014 and she still has several more to reunite with their owners.<\/p>\n

After one of her friends discovered five men’s wedding bands in the sand during a recent visit to South Padre Island, Andrea Wright took to social media in hopes of tracking down their original owners.<\/p>\n

\u201cA local metal detector friend has found various types of men’s wedding bands on the city and county beaches of SPI,\u201d she wrote on Facebook. \u201cIf you’re missing one, please contact me and describe it. We are trying to get them to their rightful owners!\u201d<\/p>\n

While the rings were found in various locations on the beach, Wright was determined to find who they belonged to, noting that they simply have too much meaning to keep for herself.<\/p>\n

“If they can describe the pattern, the material, the size \u2014 if it’s light or heavy, what color \u2014 then we can definitely get it back,” she told local outlet KRGV, revealing that she’s already gotten a few responses from hopeful couples.<\/p>\n

Four days later, Wright shared in an update that she successfully reunited a happy man with his lost jewelry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came home and we were looking for the ring,\u201d he said in a video shared to Wright’s social media. \u201cWe didn’t have it with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

To prove that the ring was truly his, Jonathan recalled that there were two stones missing from his wedding band and showed Wright the ring that his husband wore on a chain around his neck \u2014 which was identical to the one found on the beach.<\/p>\n

Once he and his husband were reunited with the sentimental piece of jewelry, Jonathan repeatedly said, \u201cThank you so much,\u201d before pulling Wright into a warm embrace.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo happy to have them reunited with their ring,\u201d Wright wrote after the sweet reunion.<\/p>\n
