A woman has issued a fresh appeal for help in finding her husband's wedding ring which was lost in Richmond two years ago.

Margie Nobbs, 66, met Hylton Seymour, 73, at Holy Trinity Church in Richmond and they married in 2018.

They clicked straight away over their shared South African heritage, with Margie being from Johannesburg and her husband from Cape Town.

Shortly after the wedding they lost Hylton's ring when they were packing up to start a new life together in Devon.

Margie said: "Somewhere along the line he must have dropped it.

"He was absolutely devastated."

The ring was lovingly hand-crafted by Hylton's daughter Lindsey in Cape Town and made with three different shades of gold.

Margie described it as distinctive and special.

She said it went missing when Hylton was using the Big Yellow storage units on Lower Mortlake Road.

At the time they were living in Kew, in a flat in Sandycombe Road.

The ring could have been lost anywhere in that area.

Margie and Hylton retraced their steps and looked through all of their packed luggage to find the missing ring.

According to a 2017 Ecclesiastical survey, 24 per cent of men admitted to losing their wedding rings.

There is hope for those who lose their jewellery, with Canadian service The Ring Finders helping people locate missing jewellery using metal detection specialists all over the world, including the UK.

Margie desperately wants to find her husband's missing wedding ring and is appealing for anyone in Richmond who may have seen it to come forward.
