(ABC 6 News) - A People’s Co-op worker is looking for a priceless piece of jewelry, his wedding ring, after leaving it on the sink in the bathroom at his office Monday.

According to the Olmsted County Sheriff’s Department the worker took off his wedding band to wash his hands. He then forgot it in the bathroom only to remember it hours later. When he returned the ring was gone.

The sheriff’s department says the ring is unique so it should be easily recognized. It’s described as a gold ring with five diamonds across it and the letters L-J inscribed on the inside.

There was no estimate on the ring’s worth.
