What should I do about my lost ring?

Be honest witn your boyfriend. It was very sweet of him to get you a promise ring, but accidents to happen. If he loves you, then he may be a little disappointed but it will be ok.\n\nMention to him that you found one just like it online and that you would like to get it. If he offers to get it for you, then let him. You can do something special for him in return. And if he's ok with the idea but doesn't offer to buy it for you, then go ahead and get it. \n\nHopefully it will eventually turn up somewhere. But if you try to secretly replace it and it turns up after that, you would have some explaining to do. - Just tell him what's going on.\n\nDo the two of you live together and use the same car? Could it have gotten lost at his place or in his car where you wouldn't have found it?

Yes if you don't get married the ring needs to go back to him . The ring was put on your finger for marriage so if you break it off it's no longer yours . It would only be right to give it back .\n\nAngel

See it in trash folder. If u find it there, it is ok otherwise forget about recovering them. It wont be possible now.

I think the whole tradition of rings should be done away with.  Is it really necessary to spend thousand of dollars on pieces of metal to show your commitment to each other.  Save the money and invest or buy something you actually need.  If you are going to stay with this old ritual I dont see any reason to try and update by sharing the cost so I guess I would say let the man buy both if you insist on tradion.  It is traditional after all.

Did you try googling the kids name along with the school name?\n\nWowza, where did you find the ring? Depending on where, maybe you should just leave it in a lost and found.  Or check old year books or class lists for any White County High Schools in the area.  Or just keep it as a heirloom I guess... I don't know how much more you can do.

Take it to a jeweler.

When my husband and i were planning our wedding, we went to purchase him a wedding ring. we went to a ma and pop jewelery store in the town that we live in(keep it in the community). He found one he liked and it had an Opal mount in it. Well we do construction for a living and neither one of us wear our rings to work. but we do at home and we do alot around our house. Over the first year his ring got bent all to hell. It was a very thin ring. So for our anniversary i wanted to have it remade. I had a bunch of scrap gold to put torwords the construction of the new ring to make it thicker. So I decided to take it back to the store we purchased it from.I explained the situation to the lady. NOT that the situation mattered.I just wanted to pay to make a new ring. She told me that I was lieing about him wearing the ring to work.In my own rage I argued it with her knowing the situation did not matter.I just Knew That bhe didnt.But she just knew that he did. I ended up taking the ring to a locl pawn shop and a jeweler there remade a Georgous replica of the origional and alot more durable

I was in this situation a couple of months ago, until it all fell apart, but that's an answer for a different question. ;-)\n\nI was really happy with some designs I found at a local custom jewelry shop... big companies overcharge, and can't be nearly as flexible with their designs (they have to sell what appeals to the masses).  If you find a small shop you trust, they'll probably give you a great deal on *exactly* the ring that you want.  That was my experience anyway.

easy, don't eat pacer leads!\n\nbut to be serious, maybe u should get the staff to sign out for the stuff they take, then if a big amount of stuff goes missing then u well call a meeting about the theft.

Yes it could damage your ring, I would suggest taking it off at home before you workout also that way you dont loose it or have it stolen from a locker or something at the gym.

you might want to take a look on ebay to look for a real diamond ring or maybe a pawn shop will do it instead of a fancy jewerly store...

Take it to a coin dealer. (Yes, I know it's a bill...but they deal in that stuff, too.)

Queen Bee and M are both correct.  Also if the mother-in-law won't part with it offer to buy it back.  Explain that this is very hurtful to you and if this is the only way to get the ring back you will pay her.  Unfortunately, legally there is nothing you can do.  If you have to cry and make her feel guilty that's what you should do.  She should be a big enough person to realize that SHE is not the person you intended to have that ring since you would NEVER have given such an heirloom to anyone else but your daughter.  Common sense indicates you don't want anything like that going to an in-law!\n\nAdditional comment:\n\nAfter reading your additional details I think you should write them all off.  The mother-in-law has some nerve thinking you SHOULD PAY!  And even more nerve trying to fight over something that shouldn't have been given to her in the first place.  And your son-in-law is a wuss because he won't just pay his mother himself and return the ring to you.  I wouldn't buy ANYONE ANYTHING!  Take your money and spend it on yourself.  I think they are all ROTTEN to be doing what they are doing.

There are etchings from the jeweler, which are usually self explanatory. Or rings can get scratched from normal wear and tear; which only proves the ring is being worn.

Take a nice long hot bath. Soak your hand in the water. Skin shrivels when it's soaking in hot water. The soaking alone should help it come off easily. In case it still hangs up on the knuckle a little liquid soap will allow it to slide off the rest of the way.\n\nIf that doesn't work, visit your doctor to have the ring cut off. You can get it repaired and re-sized at a jeweler later.

Yes, you could get half the expenses back in court.  I don't think you would get all because its kind of a chance you take when you get involved.  You should give the ring back though.  Its the right thing to do because what do you want it for?  Hang on to if for now though until court is over because if you don't get anything from him for some reason you could at least sell it for some money to pay off the expenses.  Contact a lawyer because I've seen on some of those tv shows like Judge Judy and Joe Brown and people have got money back in the same situation.
