Lost my engagement ring...

I'm so sorry I would definitely go into all those places in person and ask if you can look for it yourself. You'll be able to retrace your own steps better than anyone else. Triple check your car or if you used Uber/public transit they should have a way to get in contact with lost and found.

If you have renters or homeowners insurance, your ring (or at least a portion of the cost of the ring) might be covered under that policy. You usually need to have a separate rider for full coverage, especially if it is a higher-value item, but most coverage includes at least a couple thousand for jewelry (after deductible). I agree about telling FH sooner rather than later, and about going back and retracing your steps in person. You may see something or think of something store/restaurant employees might not. You could also make up some flyers and take them to the different locations and ask if they'd be willing to post them, or at least keep them on hand in case the ring turns up. Also, for what it's worth, my SIL lost her wedding set -- it just completely disappeared -- she looked everywhere she could think of with no luck; it was just GONE.... Ten plus years later, she's cleaning out some storage bins in their garage attic and what's in the bottom of one of them? HER RING SET! It must have come off when she was packing up stuff their kids had outgrown, and it sat in the bottom of the bin for more than a decade. I also have a friend who had the diamond come out of her ring -- again, seemingly lost forever. Years later she was cleaning her house (which is always spotless) and found the stone on the floor.... She's certain it wasn't lying on her bathroom floor all those years, but it was in something within the house all that time! So, shake out any clothing, gloves, etc. you were wearing around the time the ring disappeared, go through your bedding, kitchen drawers, etc., AND don't give up hope! You never know.... Good luck!

If it's cold enough where you are that you were wearing gloves, think about EVERY place you were where you took your gloves off, then look wherever you stow your gloves (so, coat pockets, purse, wherever), etc. I'm always struck by posts on this site from nurses/doctors about what a huge risk it is when they take their gloves off on and off throughout the day! Fingers-crossed your ring shows up! xoxoxo

My fiance insured mine before he proposed - just in case something happened (ex. house fire). I would also start going to pawn shops in the area and take a color copy in case someone eventually tried to. I would also contact your local PD and see if they will let you open a case in case someone does try to pawn it. But you need to tell your fiance. Have you checked your car, your bed, house? I would deep clean, see if it fell off and under something. Best of luck. I hope you find it!
