Gold-tone hoop earrings with turquoise beads
Description
I lost my gold-tone hoop earrings with turquoise beads yesterday around 3pm near the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. They’re about 1.25 inches in diameter, from a small local boutique called Aurora Trinkets, with turquoise teardrop beads dangling. One earring has a tiny heart charm near the clasp, and the back of the other bears a small engraving 'KT'—things I’d recognize if I see them. They’re a bit worn, with a few scuffs on the outer edge from hiking, and they mean a lot to me because they were a gift from my grandmother; if anyone finds them, please DM me—I'd really appreciate getting 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.
