Gold-tone necklace with sapphire heart pendant
Description
I lost my gold-tone necklace yesterday around 3pm near the Lincoln Road Mall in Miami Beach, South Florida. It's an 18-inch delicate chain with a small sapphire heart pendant; the pendant has a tiny engraving on the back—'LR'—and the lobster clasp shows a bit of wear. The chain is in decent condition, but the spring is a bit stiff and the pendant catches the sun when it tilts just right. This necklace is sentimental; it was a gift from my grandmother who passed away last year, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'd be grateful to arrange a meetup around Bayside Marketplace or Lincoln Road to pick it up.

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.
