Gold hoop earrings with pearl charms
Description
Hey there, I’m Priya Patel and I’m hoping someone found my gold hoop earrings yesterday. They’re 14k gold-filled hoops, about 18mm in diameter, with delicate freshwater pearl charms that swing as I move. One hoop has a tiny star-shaped charm near the clasp, and there’s a barely visible scratch across one of the pearls—easy to spot if you look closely. I had them on yesterday around 3pm, and I think I took them off while waiting outside a cafe near Village Gate Square on Park Ave and left them on a bench. They’re sentimental to me because they were a gift from my mom who passed away last year. If you found them, I’d be incredibly grateful to get them back.

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.
