Gold bracelet with heart charm and turquoise beads
Description
I lost my gold-tone bracelet yesterday around 4:15pm. It’s a 7-inch stretch bracelet with a small heart charm and turquoise beads, a bit tarnished from wear, and one bead has a tiny crack that’s easy to notice. The heart charm is engraved on the back with the initials 'L.M.' and there’s a tiny anchor charm right next to the clasp. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I’m really hoping to find it. I last had it near Jennette’s Pier parking lot in Nags Head, walking along the dune line by the lifeguard stand, and I must have dropped it somewhere in that area.

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.
