Description
I lost my 14k gold ring with a tiny emerald set in a bezel. The ring is about 6mm wide, smooth with a polished finish, and on the inside there's a small engraving 'A.M.' that I added for a personal touch. There is a tiny chip on the emerald's edge if you look closely. I was walking yesterday around 3pm near the Bullock Texas State History Museum on Congress Ave in downtown Austin, after grabbing coffee at a cafe on 6th Street. It means a lot to me—it's my grandmother's ring—and I really need it back.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
