TAMPA, Fla. - 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.

"We were laughing and I wasn't paying attention and I took a swallow," said Miriam, who declined to give her last name.

After patrons finished their drinks, the real diamond was nowhere to be found.

I can’t imagine. She thought it was acceptable to take a diamond in a bag covered with her...

Oh, never mind.

I once was fiddling with a gold ring my grandfather gave me as a young lad while lying down in bed....I dropped it and it fell right down my throat....

Yup... I had to wait a day and “find” it ....the ring was shiny like brand new...

Never played with it again especially with my mouth open....
