Brooklin Yazzie, of Mesa, says she mistakenly handed out the ring Friday during a mix-up.

"When I first realized what had happened, I just lost my speech, I froze," Yazzie told Phoenix TV station KNXV-TV

Yazzie says she placed her wedding ring in a candy jar while helping her daughters carve pumpkins, and when the night became hectic she absentmindedly dumped the contents of the jar into the candy bag.

She says there were also plastic rings inside the candy bag.

Yazzie and her husband married 10 years ago, and she told KNXV they couldn’t afford an expensive ring at the time.

“If you were to try and pawn it or sell it you could probably get $50 for it,” she said.
