KC area jeweler searching for owner of wedding ring found after George Strait concert

A woman walked through the front door of Kennedy’s Custom Jewelers Monday, held up a wedding ring and made an unexpected request.

“I hope you’re going to tell me that this is something inexpensive and that’s why I found it on the ground,” the woman said.

After a quick look, Kennedy quickly determined otherwise.

“I informed her that somebody was missing their very nice wedding ring,” said Kennedy, who co-owns the jewelry store in Blue Springs.

The news shook the woman who was near tears as she explained she found it under the seats where she was sitting at the George Strait concert Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium.

Seeing how upset the woman was, Kennedy told her he would try to help reunite the ring with its owner.

“Leave the ring with me,” Kennedy told the woman. “I know exactly how to identify it. If somebody were to call and say it was theirs, I could unrefutably make sure it was theirs.”

He also promised to put the word out on social media to see if they could track down the person missing the ring. Kennedy put posts up on social media in eight different groups under his personal and company accounts. They have had more than 1,000 shares among all of them.

So far three people have contacted him saying they lost their wedding rings. None of them were the ring’s owner, Kennedy said.

Kennedy wasn’t releasing any description of the ring or where it was found in the stadium in an effort to keep people from making a false claim. It’s not a generic piece that could be easily described.

“We’re really not giving any information on the piece other than it is a wedding ring — a diamond wedding ring,” he said.

Anyone who lost a wedding ring at the concert is asked to call the jewelry store at 816-229-0505 to see if it is theirs. In addition to describing it, Kennedy said he would also try to require an appraisal or the name of the jewelry store where it was purchased.

“Our number one concern is that obviously it goes to the right person,” he said.
