Description
I lost my 14k gold ring with a tiny emerald centerpiece yesterday around 3pm near the CVS on W. Ponce de Leon Ave by Decatur Square. It's a slim, about 3mm band with faint vine-like engravings along the inside and the initials 'P.P.' etched on the inner edge. The emerald is a small, earthy green with a tiny chip on one facet—barely noticeable but there. The ring is sentimental; it was a gift from my grandmother and I wore it every day. If anyone found it, please reach out at the email above so we can arrange a safe pickup in Decatur.

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.
