Woman searching for $10K engagement ring she left in fitting room

A woman who had her $10,000 engagement ring stolen when she removed it to try on clothes in a department store fitting room is hoping police can track down the pricey bauble.

Marie White, 23, said she was shopping with her fiancé at the H&M on Broadway in SoHo Sunday when she decided to try on a jacket she liked.

But when the Tribeca resident tried to slip her hand through the sleeve, the ring kept getting caught on the material, prompting her to take it off and carefully place it on a bench inside the fitting room.

“It was going to rip this jacket to shreds so I took it off,” White told The Post. “I put it down in plain sight and it was shining in the light.”

But when she walked out of the changing area, White said she absentmindedly left the three-karat sapphire surrounded in diamonds behind.

It wasn’t until minutes later, while walking with her fiancé, that White noticed the ring wasn’t on her finger and ran back to try and retrieve it.

“I all of a sudden started running and pushing into people,” she said. “I was just like, ‘I need to get my ring.’ But I was already too late.”

Someone had swiped the giant rock, which had been purchased in India, and was given to her when her artist fiancé proposed to her there.

Police said surveillance video shows two people entering the dressing room after White, but there is no evidence that explicitly shows who took it.

White said she hopes police can track down the ring, which she says is irreplaceable.

“I don’t want another ring,” she said. “I want to find this one.”
