Gold-tone hoop earrings with pearl drops
Description
I found a pair of gold-tone hoop earrings with tiny freshwater pearl drops this afternoon, around 3:15 pm, on the sidewalk outside the Buffalo Central Library on Lafayette Street. The hoops are about 1 inch in diameter, and one ear hoop has a tiny engraving on the inside that looks like 'LR'; the pearls are clean white and the overall look is chic but slightly scuffed from the walk downtown. They’re in decent condition — the clasps grip firmly, just a little wear on the metal from daily use. If these belong to you, reply here and we can arrange a safe pickup near the library, or meet at the Lafayette Square area.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
