Lost my engagement ring... completely beside myself

Hello Ladies,
4 days ago I took my beautiful to ring off to cut meat, I put in on the counter like I’ve done 100 times before and... well... it’s gone. I’ve been searching nonstop ever since. High and low. I took my dog to the vet for X-rays to see if he swallowed it... nothing. I prayed to St. Anthony... nothing (so far). I searched other forums to see where other people had found theirs to give me new ideas on where to search... nothing. I’m starting to think I accidentally threw it in the garbage which is long gone by now just because it’s no where to be found. I’m literally beside myself and We didn’t have insurance to cover the whole ring (only the diamond apparently). I thought it was but it’s not covered, talk about a dagger to the heart. The thing was expensive and we just bought a house so we cannot afford another one. I just miss it. I know it is just an object, and just a symbol of our love for eachother but damn does this suck. Has anyone else ever lost their ring and swore it was gone forever and then they found it? I’m grasping for any sort of hope here.
