I lost a valuable ring and feel sick over it

[Anonymous]

I went to Palm Springs last summer and started to feel lousy during the travel... Flew to LA, drove out to PS... checked in and while the rest of the family went out, I crashed. I woke up and my rings were gone. I normally am very specific in putting them either ON a necklace on a bedside table, or IN a jewelry bag in my purse. It was bizarre. Three meaningful platinum diamond eternity bands. It was awful because as a creature of habit, I knew they were gone as they weren't in the usual place.

Anyway, I ended up dumping out my huge purse on the bed, just in case and I sorted through all that was in my bag from the travel- plane tickets, snacks, napkins/wrappers, tourist stuff.... purchases... and all of a sudden, in the dregs of the bag were my three rings. All I could think was that in a fever I was scared to lose them in a new hotel room so I put them in a pocket in my bag. It was eerie like someone else had haunted my body and done this. Being really sick can make you do weird things.

Fast forward a year and I am worried about my brain as I currently am missing 4 other rings, if you can believe it. My sister swears that on her last visit, she brought down my great grandmothers rings (for my daughters when they grow up) and I have no recollection and again- creature of habit, I would have walked them straight to the one place I put my jewelry. And the crazy thing is they have been lost since before my grandmoter died (8 years) and she had only just found them. So we just believe it is meant to be that these rings do not want to be found. The other two rings were gifts to myself- expensive but not as much meaning... and again- I haven't worn them and they should be with my jewelry. WTH- it's maddening.

Yes, lost my wedding band either when was on a long multi city business travel or at home when I got back. Called a few hotels where I stayed, looked at home, but then we moved sometime later that year, so I never found it.

Also had a beautiful bracelet stolen. I had a few items I don’t wore a lot at parents house cause we were moving a lot, and thought they’d just be safer there. They were renovating and it disappeared.

P.s. op, it’s a loss. Just remind yourself that it’s an item, not a person who you lost and miss. That would be a real loss. Just move on, there isn’t much to do to bring that specific item back. May be replace if it was ensured.

I had a ring of my mom’s that I had been meaning to get resized and hadn’t got around to it yet. Then I wanted to wear it to go out to dinner with my dad on the anniversary of her death, and it fell off my finger without me noticing. Twenty years ago and this still bothers me.

I've found jewelry in my house more than a year later. Like a ring i took off and it fell into a drawer.
I actually have a love hate relationship w expensive jewelry. Bc it can be a burden.

St[b]. Anthony, St. Anthony, please look around. My fabulous deco ring is lost and must be found.

If it’s in your house, you’ll find it…unless your cleaning service stole it.

Did you check your purse, your pockets, your coat, your bedside table, bathroom, kitchen sink, etc.?

Not Catholic. doesn't work. If it did, why would they post here?

I taught the prayer to my Jewish husband and he routinely uses it.

It does work.

Have you tried it yet, op?

My spouse was out for a work event and got very wasted, came home and his wedding ring was missing. He thought he must have dropped it somewhere. He lost a lot of weight and it no longer fit well.

He bought a new wedding ring.

Many months later, he found it in his coat pocket. He forgot he put it there.

I wanted to kill him but glad it was found.

Later she realized her diamond was missing from her ring, and if she had taken two seconds to look at the “rainbow rock,” it would have been found!

Wow, what a story....I would have been so upset.

I love these stories of finding long list jewels. It really makes me wonder if there is something supernatural at play. My most valuable piece of jewelry is a ring from my mother. It fits securely and I never take it off. Seems the best approach.

But I recently lost one earring that was inexpensive but the perfect size etc. found it during a deep clean of my house last weekend in a place that didn’t make a lot of sense.

Makes you wonder.

I think that it does hurt to lose jewelry because it's beautiful and sometimes irreplaceable or has sentimental value. It hurts to lose them. I lost a beautiful Italian mixed gold bracelet 19 yrs ago. I think movers stole it. I still think of the bracelet I lost.

I’m am bereft because my mom gave me her wedding ring (saying, I’ll give it to you now while I am alive). I had it maybe 6 mos when I lost it. I wanted to take her out to buy some plants and when we got back in the car I didn’t feel it on my finger. I have cried and stayed awake at night mourning the loss. Thing is I rarely lose jewelry and have some very old pieces that don’t mean as much. How could this have happened. I’ll never recover and I cannot tell my mom, ever.

I found a favorite costume jewelry earring in a drawer like that. I took them off and set them on the kitchen counter (bc they were only pot metal). Found one when I finally went to put them away. I assumed the other fell on the floor and rolled away/got swept up. Because it had been a day since I had set them there.

I decided to save the one. About 2 years later, while cleaning crumbs out of ALL of the silverware drawer, including the containers towards the back, I found the lost earring. It had fallen into the furthest back container which is why I'd never seen it.
