Bunny Came Home: Reuniting With My Favorite Childhood Ring After 26 Years! 🐰💗

Published on by hellosamanthadear

It was 1998, and I was 11 years old when I last remember wearing my favorite ring, by the vintage brand Russ. 💕

Russ rings were very cute and fun rings for kids that had a variety of different characters on them – anything from Santa to random animals to Troll dolls! I owned a few different ones and still wear them to this day, but there was one that got away: the ballerina bunny ring.

It’s still a mystery as to what happened to it, but I suspect I may have lost it at school, perhaps on the playground or in the grassy green field during recess; maybe it’s buried somewhere under the soil at the school to this day, like some long lost relic waiting to be unearthed like a fossil?

For YEARS, I’ve scoured the internet like a devoted treasure hunter trying to find an identical ring. Since it’s from a long-ago brand that’s no longer around, you can only find a few Russ rings that people sell on platforms such as eBay, but none were the ballerina bunny ring.

But after 26 years, fate finally stepped in!!!!!!!!! 💓 Finally, finally someone posted an identical one for sale on eBay, so I bought it immediately (at a bargain deal, too – under $10!)

I honestly can’t believe I’m wearing it on my hand after 26 years. It feels sooooo surreal! I don’t know what it is about this ring, but it’s haunted me ever since I lost it. I never forgot what it looked like and always had a clear mental image of it. And now, it’s mine again!

I’m definitely going to wear it every day to make up for lost time! 😉 Do you have a certain accessory/toy/etc from your childhood that you’ve never forgotten? Do you still have it?

  1. Oh I’m so happy for you!! Reuniting with nostalgic items is the best 💖 And what a bargain! I’m still searching for a Bon Bons roll-on glitter called “Boys and Berries” (😁) I lost it during a move and I miss its nostalgic scent 💔💙

  4. Whoa, what a great story! Not to mention song pun. I love that this very special ring was out there all along waiting for you. Also, this: “maybe it’s buried somewhere under the soil at the school to this day, like some long lost relic waiting to be unearthed like a fossil?” That’s deep on more than one level! 💍🩰🐰

  5. I love this story and I’m so happy that there’s a happy ending too!! 🫶💕 It’s so wonderful to be reunited with a long lost treasure from your childhood.

    I lost a Hello Kitty charm bracelet and to this day I haven’t been able to find an identical one. If had a charm of chococat, hello kitty, and a couple other characters. I also lost a hello kitty USB stick which I’m still upset about. I don’t remember what was actually on the USB stick but I have a few guesses. We don’t realize what we’ve lost until it goes missing 💔
