Description
I found this ring this afternoon around 3:15 pm, just outside the fountain at Fayetteville Square near the Walton Arts Center. It's a gold-toned band, probably 14K gold, with a small emerald set in a clean bezel. The ring looks to be a size 6.5 and there’s a tiny engraving on the inside that reads 'A.R.', plus a faint scratch along the outside edge from what could be wear. It feels important to whoever lost it, and I know rings can carry a lot of sentiment, so I’d love to help get it back to its owner if it’s yours or you know who it belongs to.

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.
