Woman accidentally swallows $5,000 diamond at charity event

TAMPA, Florida – A $5,000 diamond meant to make its way on to a necklace or set on a ring made its way into an 80-year-old woman’s belly instead.

The Tampa Woman’s Club held an event over the weekend where they poured 400 flutes of champagne.  Inside each flute was a cubic zirconia, and one of the flutes contained a $5,000 diamond donated by Continental Wholesale Diamond.

After patrons finished their drinks, the real diamond was nowhere to be found.
Then, an elderly woman came forward and said she accidentally swallowed what was in her flute.

Miriam immediately went to an area hospital for an x-ray only to find out diamonds don’t show up on x-ray.

Her doctor ended up finding the elusive diamond.  Full Article
