Hi Guys, I just purchased a Cartier pave love ring last month. It was stunning. I made a post recently and was so happy to have it.
I bought it on my wedding anniversary and was planning to wear it as a wedding ring .

Well I lost it. YUP. I am so mad at myself, it was not insured . :(
I wore it before I could insure it and I lost it. I don't know it I left it in a restroom somewhere or it was accidently thrown away. My husband and I turned the house inside out looking for it. I have the rest of the jewelry I wore and I honestly have no clue what happened to it. I do not remember taking it off at all. Very odd.

Should I repurchase it? With tax it was 8k. I had been saving to add the pave JUC ring and some other jewelry and if I rebuy it would cut into that. My sa says I can return it if we find the original.
I have been upset since I lost it.
I just inspired a friend to buy the same ring. She bought it and it looks great on her. In can't even look at her insta lol. I want my ring back!!
I hate that I would be spending 2 times for the one ring. My husband says to do what I want. The extra money is stupid tax for being not responsible.

I don't have unlimited funds and what I have is it for jewelry for the next few years. Ugh. I have no many things on my Wishlist and if I buy this, then one has to go.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I know I should have insured it before wearing. I have beat myself up for 2 weeks now.

Oh no sorry. I know how terrible it feels to lose a piece of jewelry. Did you contact your homeowners insurance? They might give you something. I would give it a shot.

We looked soo hard! I mean we looked inch by inch in the house. Flashlights, vacuums, dumpsters, drains.
It has been 2 weeks. I pray one day it turns up, but so far nada.
The good part is my sa says I can return if we find it. I think she would give me a few months after the new purchase. IDK. I hate to pay 16k for the pave love ring. :(

It might turn up. I have heard that praying to St. Anthony helps too.

TY! We called all insurance and nada. I even called Amex purchase protection and they only cover theft. I will make sure everything I own is insured this week. I learned a good lesson. Please insure guys!! It is worth it.

It's on the floor underneath the washing machine, not too far in. Don't laugh, it happened to me and that's where it was. Point is, check around the appliances in the laundry room.

Wishing you a lucky find of your lovely ring.

I’m so sorry. Losing jewelry is so stressful. Did you check the floor heating vents at all? I once lost my emerald and diamond necklace, and found it in one of our heating vents. I’ve also misplaced jewelry in the cup holders in my car before. I hope you’re able to find it. If not, like others mentioned I would give it some more time, before buying the same one.

@sjunky13, so sorry to hear! I lost a platinum diamond band ring in February, so I can sympathize! Similar situation with me, I have no idea how I lost it. I'm ususally so careful with my jewelry, but was feeling really distracted and stressed that day. Mine wasn't insured, either. I keep thinking it will pop-up in some strange place. In the meanwhile, I'm going to follow @jellyv and @Moxisox 's suggestions. Tommorrow I'll be checking in my floor registers and under all large appliances, as I hadn't thought to look in either of those areas.

I'm hoping you find yours, sending my best wishes! Keep us posted! :flowers:
