It's being reported that the ring was a stolen ring.
Usually if that's the case, the story hits the media and that increases the chance of the ring being found and returned to the rightful owner.
I don't recall a 2004 ring being reported stolen, however, lots of these rings have sold at auction.
It would be interesting if it's discovered the ring was properly sold at auction, where the ring would wind up. In that case, the original owner was paid by someone, perhaps the auction house and has no right to the ring anymore.
Hopefully further details will be released. And if the ring was truly stolen, it's great that it will be returned to the rightful owner.
