TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- It's not every day that diamonds fall out of the sky, but they did for one Winfield, Ala., family earlier this month.

Tied to two blue helium balloons, an engagement and wedding band set landed in a field next to the Weeks' family home in Marion County, and now they're trying to solve the mystery surrounding them.

Melany Weeks has been spreading the word on Facebook and in the town's local newspaper, The Journal Record, in the hopes that someone, somewhere, will be able to track down the owner.

"This has been fun in the fact that everyone who has heard has their own version of what may have happened," Weeks said Thursday. "Imaginations have gone wild, from a proposal that went wrong to a divorce party."

Weeks first noticed the balloons Sunday, July 6, when the family was going to church.

"Our neighbors had a birthday party for their child a week or so before this, and I thought maybe some balloons had gotten away from the party and caught on something in the field and never thought more of it," she said.

Weeks said she doesn't think the balloons were there before that Sunday, as the shiny blue material was very noticeable floating above the grass.

When the balloons were still there a day after, Weeks' young sons went out on a golf cart to pick them up.

"My boys had fun in deflating them with a pocket knife when they first got to them," she said. "They were picking up the remains of the balloons to carry to the trash when Brenton noticed the rings attached to the bottom of the string. No note was included."

Weeks described the balloons as "generic looking", with no picture or writing on them and simple white ribbon attached. The ring set was tied at the end of the ribbon, acting as a weight.

Weeks took the rings to a local jewelry store to make sure they were real before turning them over to the Winfield Police Department for safekeeping. They've chosen to keep details of the rings under wraps as they search for the owner, but she described them as "distinctive."

"I hope if someone really is wanting them back that they somehow read something in the paper or on Facebook," she said. "I know I'd be devastated if I lost mine."
