Idk i don't think its sanitary to have a ring on your hand while working with food (without gloves)

Bakery I work for has a rule of no rings, even with gloves. Oftentimes, we're using disposables, and someones nice engagement ring can tear right through them. Instant contamination risk.

What’s the prize? Free dental work in case damage is done when finding the lost diamond?

My basic chemistry knowledge made me wonder if being baked in the oven would turn the diamond into graphite, meaning that people should be looking for a small bit of pencil lead instead.

But I looked it up, and the oven would need to be 1,700°C for that to happen.

Call me cynical, but a ring with an empty socket and a pleading press release would a cheap way to drive up cookie sales.
