Lost jewelry collection: rings, bracelet, charms
Description
A large number of gold and silver pieces of jewelry that were kept in a small bag were accidently placed in a charity bag a number of years ago, (Oct 2018).
The jewelry was belong to my mother who has since passed and it broke her heart that she misplaced them. They were of huge sentimental to her and also myself as I remember trying most of them on as a child and listened to her tell me stories about them. Items included a tiger eye gold ring, 2 large diamond twist engagement ring with a thick gold edged band, gold and silver charms, gold chain bracelet. I've been looking for years and checking with charity shops

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
- Garda 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 asking your local Garda station for advice first.
Keep communication on Lost.ie
- 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, PPS numbers, or copies of your ID.
