Be on lookout for Solange Knowles' wedding ring lost in Mardi Gras parade
This has got to be a heart-stopping shock to anyone's system: Solange Knowles lost her engagement/wedding ring in the tumult of a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade.
The singer and younger sister of Beyoncé was serving as an honorary member of the all-female Krewe of Muses, who did their parade Thursday night, when the ring came off her finger somewhere along St. Charles Avenue, according to the group's Facebook page.
According to reports on Twitter from people who were there, Solange may have accidentally thrown her ring off her finger while flinging the traditional beads to the crowd from the giant pink-lighted shoe float she was on.
So be on the lookout, Mardi Gras revelers: An unspecified reward is being offered.
This is no traditional wedding band: It's an art deco-influenced design with two large — YUGE! in the current vernacular — square- and rectangle-shaped white diamonds, adjacent and floating in the center on a thin gold band.
Solange, 29, wed music-video director Alan Ferguson in New Orleans in November 2014, wearing a dress by Humberto Leon for Kenzo and riding a bike to the ceremony in the Bywater district.

Think her chances of recovering this ring are slim? Look what happened when Oscar-nominated Mark Ruffalo turned to his 2-million-plus followers on Twitter to help him find the wallet and cellphone he lost in New York during the blizzard two weeks ago: They were found within 20 minutes.
