Gold-tone bracelet with seashell charm
Description
Lost my gold-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm. I was wandering The Strand by Market Street in Galveston, near the Grand 1894 Opera House, when it slipped off my wrist. It’s a slender 7-inch gold-tone piece with a tiny seashell charm that dangles from a delicate chain. The clasp is a small lobster claw, a little scratched from wear, and inside the clasp the initials 'A.Y.' are engraved. It’s sentimental beyond words—it was a gift from my grandmother and I wear it almost every day. If someone found it, please drop a note through this app; I’d be so grateful to get it back and wear it again.

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.
