Gold heart pendant necklace with 14K chain
Description
I lost my gold heart pendant necklace yesterday around 3pm near Winchester Cathedral on High Street in Winchester. It's a delicate 18k gold chain, about 45 cm long, with a small heart-shaped locket at the end. The back of the pendant is engraved with 'M+J', and the clasp is stamped '14K'. The chain has a tiny kink near the clasp from a light fall, but the piece is otherwise in good shape. It was a gift from my grandmother and holds a lot of sentimental value; I'd really appreciate getting it back. If anyone found it, please drop it off near the Market or message me here — thank you.

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.
