Lost my engagement ring

[MissMichelle]

OP...I'm so sorry you lost your ring. You've looked into the shower drain traps to make sure it's not stuck at a bend in the pipe? All over your car? Under your bed? In your kids' backpacks?

Assuming you have homeowner's/renter's insurance, they will likely cover *something*. I think our renter's covers $500 of each piece of jewelry, HOWEVER I'm just now thinking, it doesn't cover the unscheduled jewelry for simple loss, it would be for robbery. Hmm. Eh, check with them anyway.



Good luck, I really hope you find it by surprise! Tonight go around the house, bathrooms, kitchen, and cars with a flashlight, just to see if anything glints.

I do have renter's insurance and also the home I live in (rent) is owned by my parents...once I read all the replies we checked into both policies (renters and home owners) and it would only be in the event of theft...bummer.

You gave me quite a bit of hope with looking around the house..My mom said to me "U really never know" and it is true...I still hold hope it is found. Put a smile onm my face reading your post. Thanks!

i wouldn't waste money on a 'better' fake. i'd try to stick with real gold set with cz's if you really want a ring right away.

an old superstition for finding lost items is to turn over a glass. take any drinking glass and turn it on its lip. when you get sick of looking at it and turn it back over, you'll find your ring.

when all else fails, just go elope and get a wedding band! (one that fits)

HAHA! You had me LOL....I just popped on and am reading through everyone's awesome replies...LOVE IT!

With all the "words to the wise" that you have been given by everyone (and I apologize if I got a little carried away with sharing things that I have learned from the inside), I really hope that your ring turns up, or that you are able to find another piece of jewelry that makes you happy and is a symbol of the beauty of your love!!!

Thank you for that. it is very kind. I have no idea why part of this thread turned a little sour, but I think that what everyone has said to me is correct...it isn't the jewelry it is the love behind it...Now that the shock of losing the ring is wearing down a bit I may just get on some of these web sites that were posted and order me a replacement MUCH cheaper then I may have. DF should be happy and we'll sit down and look together!

Thanks everyone

I will not be a part of the nasty mudslinging that you have just started. I was simply trying to help out people who truly want to protect their jewelry and watch their budget since I know about the jewelry industry. Not once have I called names or assumed judgements about your personal character or questioned where you obtained your knowledge. (I'm sure that everyone will be able to judge you for themselves when they view your post.)

Wishing everyone happy Disney thoughts from here on out!

It's merely the battle against misinformation. I had simply noted that she might check for a diamond guarantee, because they are valid and offered with most sales. There was no reason to put down such a simple suggestion. I apologize to the original thread starter.
