Good thought! ;) Knowing that it is in the house must give you some peace but I know it has to be maddening. Here's hoping you will get a Christmas Miracle very shortly and it will be found.Quote:

You need my hubby there to help you look!
Today, my mom lost a diamond earring, one that she had got for Christmas from my dad . . . we knew that she'd lost it somewhere in the house or between the house and the car because I saw them on her at breakfast and she realized it was gone in the car, but it wasn't IN the car . . . we had to sit through church this morning worrying ourselves to death about it. When we got home, dad pulled up, my husband got out, walked right over to where she got into the car when we left, bent over and picked it up! I couldn't believe it! He saved the day!
Maybe it will turn up . . . let us know if it does!
Unfortunately it didn't pop out of any presents this morning. :(
I obsessed over looking through every scrap of gift wrap before I put them in trash bags.
I spent the afternoon searching the bedroom again.
At least my bedroom and closet are getting cleaner in the process.
Karen, we changed the sheets on the bed a few day ago so it would have to be on top of the quilt if it were still on the bed.
Abbymom, my shoes are kept in their boxes on low shelves so it couldn't have fallen into any of my shoes. We did check all around the floor of the closet already.
Moosmom, I have been on my hands and knees searching over and over again.
Christa, I wish your husband could help me.
I keep wishing that it would just show up right in front of me.
Oh no! :( I love my heart shaped diamond, so I can just imagine how you feel.
Is the ring under warrenty? My mom has lost many gems out of her rings and the jewelry store always replaces them free of charge.
I hope it turns up! *hugs*
YES!!! :DQuote:

I was putting away some of my husband's clean clothes in the closet. There were a few shirts on the floor of the closet that I swear we looked through several times already. I just nudged the shirts on the floor with my toe, then suddenly caught a little glimmer on the floor right in front of me!
I knew it had to be in my bedroom or closet.
It has been missing for 12 days and now I finally found it! :)
Now the problem is that 2 days ago, we brought the rest of the ring to a jewelry store to get a new diamond set in it.
Of course the store is closed in the evening so I have to wait until tomorrow morning to call them and see if we can just get the original diamond set back in it and save a whole bunch of money.
They told me it would take about 3 weeks to have the new diamond set, I'm hoping they were still waiting for the diamond to come in and that they didn't start working on it yet.
Anyway, I'm so happy I finally found it! :D
It was driving me crazy knowing that it was so near but that I couldn't find it.
What great news! What a lucky duck you are to have found it. I bet it means so much to you. :D
I was just wondering last night if it had turned up. I'm so pleased you found it. :)
OH YAY!!
I just found this thread - and I was hoping when I got to the end that you ended up finding it.... YAY... I know you are so happy!!!!! :D
Oh good! That is so incredible! Better get that baby set in platnium prongs this time! :D
Yay!!! I'm so happy to hear you found it. :D
That is such great news!
On our first wedding anniversary, my husband gave me a second band with diamonds. I was so excited. SHortly afterwards we went to visit his brother's family. Of course, I showed off my new ring and then went to romp with the new puppy.
The puppy chewed on my ears and my fingers and my clothes. We rolled around on the floor.
When it was time to go to dinner I went to wash my hands....and noticed a diamond was missing from my new ring!
We searched everywhere....used the flashlight looking for the reflection.
I spent the next day checking through the puppy's poop....
So be glad you only had to look in the bedroom and closet!
Glad you found it!
I'm glad you found your diamond. Maybe you can keep the other one, too. :p
That's awesome!! :D I'm really glad you found it...
