14k gold necklace with emerald pendant, 18-inch
Description
I lost my 14k gold necklace with an emerald pendant yesterday around 3pm near the Covered Market entrance on Cornmarket Street, Oxford. It's an 18-inch chain, pretty polished but with a couple of tiny scratches from daily wear, and the pendant is a small square emerald about 8mm across. There's a tiny bee charm etched on the back of the pendant, and the clasp has my initials 'AR' engraved. This necklace was a birthday gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me and I’d be really grateful to get it back if anyone found it. If you found it, I’d be grateful to hear from you—you can email me at [email protected].

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.
