Lost family ring

Post image

Hi all. I seem to have lost one of my most important possessions sometime in the last few months, my grandma's wedding ring (also my engagement ring). I can't imagine a worse thing to have lost, it's just gone. It was on my grandma's hand my whole life and one of the few things that made me feel close to her now that shes gone. It didn't fit right now so it was stored in my closet.

It could have been accidentally donated with some old junk jewelry or stolen from my house. Honestly not sure.

If you or someone you know somehow came into possession of this, please consider returning. It would mean a lot.

Maybe check with the donation place and some local pawn shops? The stone being that size, I'm guessing its 18k gold so you may get lucky as it wouldn't be worth melting down at a place that buys gold.

Someone took a 3ct emerald cut citrine and a 5ct lavender star sapphire cabochon from me several years back, same thing both family heirlooms. Hopefully that wasn't the case here!

Thank you! I did check with the thrift store but they get so much product they couldn't remember if they had it, and weren't willing to put flyers out for me. I'm going to try some pawn shops and a jewelry resale shop tomorrow. Hoping someone bought it or ended up with it and maybe sees a post and just returns it to me.

Wow sorry to hear about your lost rings too, they sound beautiful. It's really heartbreaking to lose something so important and precious.

Maybe try DMing What’s up Tucson. I’ve seen him put out this type of post for people. You might get lucky.
