Gold-tone hoop earrings with pearl charm
Description
I lost my gold-tone hoop earrings with a small freshwater pearl charm yesterday around 3pm near the Dunkin' on Westminster Street by Providence Place Mall in Providence. They’re about 1 inch in diameter, gold-tone brass with a delicate pearl dangling from one hoop. One hoop is slightly bent and the pearl charm has a tiny blue enamel star attached at the base—unique enough to spot if you see them. They were a gift from my grandmother and have a lot of sentimental value; I really need to get them back. If you’ve seen them, I’d really appreciate hearing about it; they’re a small but irreplaceable piece.

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.
