Description
Yesterday around 3pm I realized I’d lost my 14K yellow gold ring with a tiny emerald centerpiece. It’s a size 6, and the band shows a few small nicks from daily wear; I think it slipped off during a quick walk along Main Street in Grass Valley, near the Empire Mine parking lot. The ring is a vintage-style bezel setting, and the inner band is engraved with 'PP'. It’s really sentimental to me because it was my grandmother's ring, and I’d be heartbroken if it doesn’t turn up. If you’ve seen anything matching, please reach out—I’m really hoping to get 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.
