Lost My Engagement Ring

Oh no! I feel so bad for you. When do you normally take it off? Before shower, bed? Was it loose on your finger and came off or do you think you misplaced it? Do you have pets that could have knocked it off a table?

Did you lose it at home? It could have come off putting laundry in the washer/dryer. Do you take it off to shower or do dishes? Could it have fallen down the drain? Is it is a drawer somewhere from putting laundry away? One time I took mine off to get my nails done and put it in my wallet and had a mini heart attack until I remembered I put it there.

Thanks, I really do appreciate that.

I normally take it off right before bed and before showering. I had spent some time in my friends hot tub with it on (a big no-no I later read) and whenever I got home I realized it wasn’t on. I had showered before laying down in bed but I’ve since torn my house apart and can’t find it. I checked my friends house, and we drained her hot tub and still no ring. The only other place I could’ve lost it would be the Uber I took home and then claimed to not have found it.
I’m calling the property dept of the police station when they open on Tuesday, but it really seems gone

If you went to any stores or areas out in public you could contact the stores or maybe even see if anyone turned it into the police if it was found out in a parking lot or park or sidewalk?

Thanks, I really do appreciate that, Forestwed.

Somehow getting logged into my WeddingWire account through two different emails. Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks Amy and FutureMrsKC

I definitely had it at my friends, and didn’t notice it was missing until I got home, so that’s the good part... Not a lot of places where it could’ve been lost. I came home, showered, and got it bed so I feel I must’ve taken it off in my friends house or I would’ve found it by now.

Is it insured? I'd move forward with making the claim.

Do you have air/heating ducts on the floor? Could it have fallen in there if it was knocked off a table?

Where you in any other places in your friends house besides the hot tub? My FW took hers off to do dishes once, and knocked it in to a drawer, and then someone closed the drawer.

Look in unexpected places is my point. Drawers, and cabinets. Does your friend have a pet who may have knocked it somewhere?

Hi Socialbride, it is insured... I guess it is time for the claim. Has anyone heard of the percentage people normally get for their rings? I feel like they won’t give us the full amount, right?

Forestwed, We do have air ducts, not sure how we would find it if it did fall in one though?

Xandria, thanks for your advice. I’ve been trying to just look absolutely anywhere. Even though I have dishes for it all over the house I’ve been going through every nook and corner my house trying to find it. Even looking through the yard and front porch.

No pets in either situation, so if it is in a random spot, it’s human error not a furry friends.

A coworker recently tore our building apart looking for hers and it was sitting by the sink where she put lotion on. Could that be a possibility?

Good luck!

Maybe check around the hot tub and in her laundry - if you used her towel to dry off with, I know the probability of that is not likely but who knows it could have gotten wrapped up with it somehow ... also check her couch Cushions just to be certain & and maybe around sinks Incase you maybe took it off while washing your hands. ( clearly this isn’t my first rodeo I’ve misplaced numerous jewelry pieces ) & if nothing else pray to Saint Anthony !! good luck!

View Quoted Comment Thanks so much, hoping it will show up in a glaringly obvious spot and make me feel silly and not sad.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much, I have definitely been asking for help from Saint Anthony!
I checked her laundry, around the hot tub, any place it could have washed off to from rain water, full bathroom and bedroom.. who knows, it could turn up, i just have to keep my hopes up and continue looking.

Get a cheap ring to west in place of it for now, I have one from wish that I only wear while I clean mine because I feel weird without one. Talk to your fiancé. They'll be upset at first but he might have found it already and hid it to see how long it takes for you tell them. My FH would do that! Retrace every step from the moment you realized it was gone,until you find it. Call the restraunts you've been, the grocery store, gas station, everywhere ! I know thatsthe most stressful feeling in the world, but it hapoeneds. If you can't find it, simply get another. At the end of the day the ring isn't what's important, its the love between you and your fiance. Good luck, I really hope you find it!!

Do you remember where you took it off at her house? If it was on the edge of the hot tub maybe look around the outside. If it's on a patio may be it fell through a crack in the patio to the ground below? Ugh, I wish I could be more helpful. I really hope you find it!!

I pray to St Anthony. I find the practice soothing and there's very little that I've prayed about and haven't found.
This is my nightmare, so you'll get nothing but compassion from me. I would misplace my head sometimes if it wasn't attached.

I went through this in November, so don't feel alone!! (Unfortunately, I lost mine at a gas station so some lucky b*stard somewhere is wearing my ring.) Since you've looked almost every place you can think of, I would go ahead and file a claim. We had mine insured through Jewelers Mutual and they paid for the entirety of my ring, BUT that may be different based on what coverage you have and with what company. Keep looking for the ring though, it could definitely turn up in a random/obvious place! I would also look at Uber's policies concerning lost property while on a ride because even if the driver says they didn't find it, they might have.

Just remember that it was insured, and accidents happen (this kind more often than you'd think)!!
