A gold signet ring which is more than 3,000 years old has found its way back to Greece after being stolen from an Aegean island during the Second World War.

During the decades away from the Greek island of Rhodes the ring crossed the Atlantic, was bought by a Nobel Prize-winning Hungarian scientist and ended up in a Swedish museum.
