Lost & found earrings in New River Valley

Lost studs near New River Valley Mall, Christiansburg.

While shopping at the New River Valley Mall in Christiansburg on Tuesday around 1:15 PM, I must have bumped my ear and knocked off my turquoise studs, tucking them into a scarf pocket near the kiosks. I realized they were gone after I left the mall and drove toward Blacksburg. The studs are small silver posts with turquoise stones—the kind my grandmother gave me, and I can’t shake the sense that they belong somewhere safe. I retraced through the mall, checked the entrances by the food court, and looked along the parking lot sidewalks, but I didn’t see them. If you found them, I’d be grateful to hear they’re okay.
