Holly Ann Green, who graduated Paramus High School in 1983, lost her class ring in Manhattan in June 1984. An air-conditioning repairman found it the next year and spent years trying to find her.

Costantino picked a gold band with a ruby-colored gem to mark her graduation from high school in 1989. She said thieves stole the ring 14 years later after burglarizing her family’s home in 2003.
