I'm so sad. I lost the diamond off my wedding ring.

What we say in cases like this is "the house doesn't lose anything". Although it could mean a close analysis of the content of your vacuum or your garbage

One time I thought I had lost my mom's sapphire and diamon ring. It was a very elegant art deco piece and she gave it to me after it didn't fit her anymore. I searched for two days all my apartment (and it was MUCH smaller than the place we're in today) and finally found it lying openly on a magazin where it mixed in the pictures and text.

I wish you that much luck as well!

I wonder if you searched with a light in the dark whether it would reflect better?

I still haven't found it but I'm not giving up yet either.
I know it is somewhere in my bedroom or closet.
My husband helped me clean out and organize the bedroom closet yesterday but we didn't find it in there.
Luckily I had done all my vacuuming in the morning before I lost it.
I did check the trash can in my bedroom but didn't find it there.
My husband looked under the bed and in the heater with a flashlight.
I'm afraid that it may be sealed into one of the presents I wrapped for my kids yesterday.
At least it is just a Christmas at home for us so the presents won't be leaving the house either.
My husband even offered a $100 reward to the kids if they find it.
Christmas may end up being a treasure hunt this year.

KYS, the prongs on the ring always snagged on things but I kept putting off getting it fixed because I didn't want to be without my ring.
I'm really hoping it will turn up somewhere in the next day or two.

Did you check the shoes in your closet? I lost something n the closet one time and found it only when I pulled out a pair of shoes to wear and found it in the toe of the shoe!

What a bummer! I'd be down on my hands and knees covering every INCH of that place!!!

I know that sinking feeling when you realize it's not there. I was wearing my late Mother's gold charm bracelet to an annual meeting. It had a charm with my brother's fraternity pin on it. My Mom always used to kid my brother saying, "When you graduate, I want it." (just joking with him) He had it put on a charm for her. It was a heart shaped black onyx with a skull and cross bones on it and encirciled with tiny pearls. It stood for Sigma Phi Epsilon. Anyway, I happened to look down and onyx part was gone! I found it near my chair!! So, I took it off the bracelet, fixed it and put it in a memory box and gave it back to my brother for Christmas. He was speechless because he knew how much my mother loved it.

I hope you find that stone. Shake everything out! Sending good vibes from beautiful Connecticut!

Remembered one more not-obvious place to look! Did you make the bed(s) that morning? Check underneath the mattresses! Lost my whole wedding ring there for a couple weeks once, I had picked up one side to look, but it was on the other side!

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.

What a clever way to inspire the kids to help.
