Absolutely devastated, lost my beautiful engagement ring today. Wondering if somehow Mumsnet can work her magic to help me find it.

Attached pictures here.

I went to Dowe’s Gym for an hour and then went to the metro convenience store next to the Subway. Attached pictures here also.

Please please please let me find it Sad

@C8H10N4O2, your comment made me laugh!

I'm a lapsed Catholic and I remember my mother praying to St Anthony when packages went missing Grin. It didn't always work for her though but thank goodness he's come through for the OP!

snotandbothered · 05/08/2019 22:49

I want to believe.

MN can tell if it's sock-puppetry if OP is posting from the same IP address but I am going to believe it's real. And brilliant.

Gorgeous ring. Is the central stone morganite?

ArgumentativeAardvaark · 05/08/2019 22:50

Isn’t it likely that the ring would be found quickly if it was going to be found at all? Before too long it might have got kicked under a shelf in the shop, or picked up by someone who had no idea how to return to owner (or fancied keeping it). Or pocketed by the grumpy shopkeeper who wasn’t interested in helping OP when she rang. The shop is right next to the tube, people in London often live within very close walking distance of tubes so not surprising that @hardheadedwoman was close enough by to nip out and look. OP had given a detailed account of her movements.

Their nails are very different 🙄

I was actually in that shop first thing as I had an appointment at the Whittington .

ArgumentativeAardvaark · 05/08/2019 23:03

OMG and there were 5 fingers on the hand in each photo too!

Hardly surprising to have some online pics of a ring to hand when you have quite probably recently purchased a ring online...

Schuyler · 05/08/2019 23:11

Of all the holes in a possible story, I don’t think the hands do look the same ...

MissConductUS · 05/08/2019 23:16

Of all the holes in a possible story, I don’t think the hands do look the same ...

The first two hand pics were posted by the woman who found the ring and the third by the OP after she'd gotten it back.

Am I missing something?

Enclume · 05/08/2019 23:28

So beautiful.❤

I am sobbing and shaking and even did myself a mischief.

ArgumentativeAardvaark · 05/08/2019 23:29

MissConduct people are suggesting that OP and the finder are the same person.

Enclume · 05/08/2019 23:38

Perish the thought.

Some people are just so cynical. Bet they don't believe in the veracity of the totes legit Hitler Diaries and pretend Titanic (1997) wasn't a documentary.

They don't have to be the same person - they can be 2 people who know each other.

That’s what I think this is, two mates having a laugh.

Dammit now I am picturing the OP and Ring Finder like that LOTR scene with the two Gollums talking to each other

Amazing...

hellenbackagen · 06/08/2019 00:35

What is wrong with people?

In my line of work I'm meant to be the most cynical person ever and I just can't see what the problem is with this post?

I've seen Mumsnet do amazing things.

Anyone remember zombie? (Candy) ?
People on here can be real life heroes.

Sagradafamiliar · 06/08/2019 01:24

Not comparable, hell. Really, really not comparable by the longest stretch.

FenellaMaxwell · 06/08/2019 03:32

How interesting that the two people to handle the ring both have a little finger nail that’s much longer than the others. Is this the fashion in Archway now...?

Fenella I can’t see the ring finders little finger? There’s only one photo from her isn’t there?
