Gold ring with emerald accent, sentimental value
Description
I lost my gold ring yesterday around 3pm near the WSU Bookstore on College Ave in Pullman. It's a slim 14k yellow gold band, about 4 mm wide, with a tiny bezel-set emerald off-center. The outer edge has a barely noticeable scratch, and the inside bears a delicate crescent moon engraving along with the initials PR. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me; I’m really hoping to get it back. If anyone saw a ring matching this description around the Bookstore area or on College Ave after 3pm yesterday, please reach out. I’d be incredibly grateful to be reunited with it.

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.
