Two sets of rings with deep sentimental value were in a purse lost in the Leamington area over the weekend.

Essex County OPP received a report of a lost purse containing the rings on Saturday.

Police say it was a purple 'Coach' wristlet that contained personal identification as well as two sets of rings.

They are described as a white gold wedding band and engagement ring set as well as a white gold engagement and anniversary ring set.

Police say the woman who lost the purse is looking for the rings as they have sentimental value for her.
