Description
I lost my 14k gold vermeil hoop earrings with tiny emerald stones yesterday around 4:15pm near the Walmart on Quintard Avenue in Anniston, in the Gadsden-Anniston area. They’re small hoops about 1/2 inch in diameter, with a delicate bezel setting and a tiny emerald bead on each side. One earring has a faint dent near the clasp and the back has a small 'E' engraving I added when I got them as a gift from my sister last Christmas. They had sentimental value; I wear them almost every day and I am really hoping to get them 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.
