Gold chain necklace with heart pendant
Description
I lost my gold chain necklace yesterday around 3pm along the Brighton seafront near the Palace Pier. It's a 14k gold chain, about 18 inches long, with a small heart pendant and a tiny sapphire stone set in the middle. The clasp is a little bent and the back of the heart is engraved with 'PP'. It was a gift from my grandmother and holds a lot of sentimental value. I last had it near Madeira Drive, between the pier entrance and the wheel, and I think it might have slipped off when I was ducking under a selfie stick. If you found it, DM me here and we can arrange a meetup near the Pier; I’d really appreciate getting 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.
