Silver hoop earrings with turquoise beads
Description
I lost my silver hoop earrings with a tiny turquoise bead yesterday around 3pm. They’re small, about 1 inch across, in brushed sterling silver, and one earring has a delicate crescent moon charm near the post. I kept them in a tiny black velvet pouch, which likely got tossed in my tote that day. I was at the Prescott Public Library on Granite Street, outside the main entrance, then wandered toward Courthouse Square and the benches by the calendar statue; I think they slipped from the pouch somewhere between the cafe seating and the steps. They mean a lot to me—my grandmother gave them to me and they feel like a memory; I’m really hoping someone found them and will return them.

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.
