Sterling bracelet with turquoise bead and heart charm
Description
I lost my sterling silver bracelet with a tiny turquoise bead and a heart charm yesterday around 3pm in Garden City, Southwest Kansas. It's a 7-inch piece of miscellaneous jewellery, with a slightly tarnished lobster clasp and a delicate engraving of the initial 'M' on the heart charm. The turquoise bead is a bright sky blue, and the bracelet shows minor wear, but it's overall in good condition. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my grandmother and feels irreplaceable. I last had it near the Walmart on 8th Street, maybe dropped along the curb or in the parking lot. If you found it, please let me know; I’d really appreciate getting it 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.
