Silver ring with blue stone, found in Northampton
Description
I found a silver ring today around 4:20pm while walking along Main Street in Northampton, right outside the Academy of Music. It’s a slim sterling silver band, about 4-5mm wide, with an oval lapis lazuli stone bezel-set. The inside bears a small engraving that reads 'AP-92' and there’s a tiny nick along the outer edge near the setting. Overall it’s in good condition with only minor surface scratches. I know how meaningful a ring can be, so I’d love to get it back to its owner. If this sounds like yours, tell me the engraving detail or the stone, and we can arrange a safe hand-off in downtown Northampton.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
