After being posted on Reddit, the picture has baffled countless users as they scour the scene for the elusive piece of jewellery. To aid the search, the picture's poster hinted that the ring features a design of silver stars.

While a select few have triumphantly identified the ring, it appears to be a feat achieved by only those with the keenest vision. Why not race against the clock to see how quickly you can spot the ring? Be warned, though it's a formidable challenge.

Have you spotted it? If so, well done!

If you're still searching, here's a tip from a helpful Reddit user: "Good one! Draw a diagonal line between the lower left and the upper right corners. Then a vertical line from the large-ish white shell on the bottom border left of the center line. The ring is where the lines intersect."

Grateful for the assistance, one user responded: "Thank you! I would've been here all day lol," while another quipped: "Excellent guide. If I'm ever simply walking into Mordor you're my guy for ring-based directions."
