WhenJackie Ganskytook a pan of Brussels sprouts out of the oven on Thanksgiving Day, she looked down in shock. Sitting amongst the pile of vegetables, which had been in the oven for 30 minutes at 415 degrees before broiling, was her diamond ring.
The actress, 29, tells PEOPLE the ring — a white gold blue topaz cushion-cut stone with a diamond bezel set that she got from her mom, Nancy Gansky, at 16 years old — had slipped off her finger while cooking and landed on the tray.
After noticing what had happened Jackie grabbed her phone to record her family’s reaction on video. She posted the video toTikTok, which has since gone viral with 2.2 million views.
“I was shocked and thought it was so funny too!” Jackie says. “That’s never happened before. I couldn’t stop laughing because I kept imagining, what if I served this at the table and someone found it in their plate or tried to eat it!”
“I always eat the hot Brussels off of the tray and was eating a few to see if they were ready, I almost grabbed the ring and would have choked,” she adds. “My mom was shocked! She was actually speechless when she saw the ring was brown and had a crispy burn on it. I wasn’t sure if the ring would ever be back to normal.”
Jackie, who usually wears the ring every day, adds how after pulling the browned, burnt ring off the tray she showed it to her sister, Danielle Gansky. She says: “I’ve never seen her laugh with so much shocked nervousness on her face. My whole family said I should get a ring guard.”
She continues: “All my cousins were around and thought I was doing a prank and joking with them since I always joke around. My sister even touched the ring and found out quickly it was very hot.”
