Silver bracelet with turquoise bead charm
Description
I lost my silver bracelet yesterday around 3pm in Helena. It's a slender sterling-silver chain about 6.5 inches long, with a tiny turquoise bead charm and a small wave charm along the chain. The inside clasp is engraved with 'A.K.' and there’s a tiny dent near the clasp from a spill last week. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me emotionally, so I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone found it. I think I dropped it while walking along Last Chance Gulch toward the Capitol building on State Street, near the crosswalk by the steps, so please keep an eye out around there.

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.
