Jewellery worth around £10,000 has been found by a diver in a river near Falmouth.

The member of public made the unusual discovery in the Helford River and contacted police.

Devon and Cornwall Police officers are now trying to reunite the jewellery - which includes rings and pendants in yellow metal- with their owner.
