Can this be true?

[DNo]

I don't know the word but the power of certain minds? Is it real?

3 years ago I had a week's horrible unexpected hospital stay. I swelled up so much I took my engagement ring off (not my wedding ring).

When I came home I put it somewhere "safe" as I was still bloated and since then I haven't found it. I'm almost certain it was in the kitchen but to this day I haven't found it.

It's a beautiful ring, not massively expensive (cost £375 18 years ago). It was designed based on Monica's ring from Friends but opposite settings - emerald cut sapphire, with a small diamond either side on a white gold plain band.

Can anyone help me find it please? 🙈 I'm not spiritual but willing to try this ridiculous plea to being my lovely eing back to me.

Many will mock but I am suggesting St. Anthony too - honestly, gubbins or not, it works far more than it doesn't. Good luck OP, it's hard to lose something so precious and meaningful.

In a drawer amongst cutlery; hooked on a fork tine? Keep saying aloud to yourself "engagement ring".

I hope you find it. Let us know if you do. x

Cutlery drawer? Under the tray thing?
Kitchen windowsill, in a plant pot saucer?

What?? Just came on thread to say egg cup!!

I'm really the least woo person ever but I do have a method for finding things that often works. (I think it works because at some hidden level you do have a memory of where it probably is IYSWIM.)

Stand in the middle of your house and think very hard about the missing item, picture it in your head and think about what it means to you. Then very slowly turn round in a full circle, scanning what you see in every direction. You may get a feeling of being drawn towards or feeling "yes there" about a particular direction which will help you find the thing in that direction. If not, go round again.

It doesn't have to be in the house, eg once I had this work and it was in the car outside.

It doesn't always work eg if you genuinely have no clue where it is. But if you have lost it / put it somewhere and forgotten, it can help.

Pray to st Anthony

A dd once had a silver claddagh ring given by a friend, that went missing.

A few years later I pulled one my lower deep pan drawer right out, for a once in a blue moon clean underneath.

There it was, under that pan drawer. How it ever got there goodness only knows. Tarnished black, but soon polished up.

St Tony has never let me down, I have lost rings twice then had them literally fall down from nowhere in front of me whilst vacuuming

On cuphook with cup covering it
In cup
Eggcup
Vase with dried twigs in (18 months I lost a ring for only to show up in said vase)
Arm of ornament..... I have a Peter Rabbit figure and have been known to hang rings off it
Corner of cupboard (found a charm off bracelet that I didn't even know was missing)
Pans or casserole dishes
Jar of "dry" spice, eg nutmeg
Drinking glasses, take them all out as they tend to reflect light so not always to see what is in the bottom

Huh? 😕

Read the first line of the OP.

I lost a very sentimentally precious ring and searched high and low, all around school. Eventually found it in my dressing gown pocket.

Another time I lost a different sentimental ring and asked St Anthony. I'm not Catholic but some of my relatives are. Anyway, when I was semi-dozing, I saw/felt it was behind the shelves in my room. It was.

Cash converters have it in the window?

Was someone short of cash when it went 'missing'?

I would hazard a guess that it’s not in the kitchen at all. In your OP, you’ve said you’re ‘almost certain’, so you’ve probably fixated on that rather than where else it could be. Sounds like your hospital stay was quite stressful and that you weren’t in the best frame of mind when you returned home (you say you can’t remember the clothes / bags you came home with). Where did you unpack when you initially came back? Could the ring be in your bedroom or the bathroom?

Definitely ask St Anthony

I'm thinking a small cup or egg cup. Do you have some nice stuff not often used?

Think about when you took it off. Visualise it. Then let it percolate. I've done this before and in the middle of washing up/putting the telly on/whatever, an image of me putting the thing in the safe place has come into my mind.

Good luck!

Yes I do this and also take a pic of hiding place!

Is it on a bookshelf? Up high?

I've just asked St Anthony to find a car key I lost (we have two) a couple of months ago. I will be very pleased if it appears! The last place I remember having it is outside our front door.

Wow! So sorry I disappeared. Right, I have an hour until I have to go out for a work meeting for 90 mins, am going to go through some of these now but I promise I will try every one at some point today!

I'm a bit scared one of these more specific ones will be the place though! Eeek!

I’m in the St Anthony camp too. He’s absolutely brilliant and I say this as someone non religious. Contact lenses in particular.
“My RC mum told me to say St Anthony, St Anthony give back what doesn’t belong to thee”. He doesn’t seem to mind the slightly demanding nature of the request either.

Would fresh eyes hep? My DM lost her engagement ring not long after my DF passed away, similar circumstances as she had to take it off to go into hospital.

It was missing for about 4 months, she was sure she'd placed it on her dressing table but it wasn't there. She tore the whole room apart and was understandably distraught. My SIL went and helped look for it too with no luck.

I went as a last ditch to try and find it and it was sitting on top of a tiny little elf ornament wearing a hat with a slight point (20s vintage and given to her by my granny). I could see it bold as brass, it literally jumped out at me. My DM burst into tears with relief.

Have you got someone else who can look for you?

I ask St A and also thank him in advance for finding the item. Generally works, but didn't in the case of my necklace, sadly...

Good luck. I almost want to lose something so I can ask St Anthony 🤣
