Couple spend hours looking for £14k engagement ring after it flew out man's hand

A couple spent two and a half hours searching for their £14k engagement ring in the dark after it flew out of the man's hand during beach proposal shoot. Kirsten Durand, 31, and Tory Parker, 30, were taking engagement photos when the ring slipped from the box into the sand.

It disappeared from view, and with the tide approaching they spent the next two and half hours combing the sand with the help of sieves and a metal detector. Finally their photographer, Yakira Parise, was able to dig out the ring and reunite it with Kirsten.

Kirsten, who runs a party business, from Vancouver, Canada, said: “We were taking our photos and doing a mock proposal and after Troy said will you marry him I leapt into his arms and we fell to the sand. We didn’t realise until our photographer asked for a close up of the ring that it was missing.
