Gold-tone necklace with sapphire pendant
Description
I lost my gold-tone necklace yesterday around 3pm near the Cumberland Valley Farmers Market on Parkside Ave, by the red brick fountain. It's an 18-inch chain with a small oval pendant that holds a tiny sapphire and has the initials 'P.T.' engraved faintly on the back. The chain has a couple of fine scratches from wear, and the pendant catches the light in a way that makes the sapphire sparkle. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value. If anyone found something matching this, please get in touch—the hunt has felt really urgent and I’d be grateful to have 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.
