Margaret Hood had a treasure trove of jewellery hidden away at her home which remained unknown until her death aged 90.
A woman was left stunned when she discovered a sapphire ring worth thousands wrapped in a Sainsbury's bag and old socks. The ring belonged to her late mum, Margaret Hood, who had a hidden collection of jewellery at her home that no one knew about until she passed away in October 2022 at the age of 90.
Margaret's children, Sue Bird, 67, and Jonathan Hood, 57, described clearing out their mum's house as a real-life treasure hunt. Sue, a former exam paper coordinator at the University of Derby, said: "We didn't know mum had all this jewellery. She never told us and it was only by chance we found it all.
"It was hanging on the wall by the door and we'd all been coming and going, completely oblivious that this stunning ring was literally hidden in plain sight. It was after discovering the ring we had to say 'right, do not throw anything away'. Top news stories today "We searched and searched and eventually found it concealed in the CD rack behind 300 CDs. When we finally opened the safe we found lots more treasures including the sapphire earrings as well as the empty box for the sapphire ring."
