Gutted - stone lost from ring

I can't stop crying. I was just about to go out and glanced down at my finger and the main stone from my engagement ring is gone :( One of the prongs is gone too so it must have just broken off and the stone fell out.

I'm always admiring it. It's not a diamond it's a gorgeous coloured stone and I loved it. So I definitely had it when I was sitting in the car after work. So it's either in here somewhere or outside. Or possibly it's gone down the sink :( There's just this hole where the stone used to be.

I can't even send the ring back or claim anything because it was a one off ring (Etsy). It was't very expensive but I loved it and it suited me. I'm not a materialistic person but it was one of the few nice pieces of jewellery I own.

And on top of that, when I phoned my mum in tears (my fiance is overseas) after talking for a few minutes she came out with "It could be worse". Oh thanks very much. Don't start making out I should be counting my blessings. You don't say things like that to someone who's upset, no matter what they're upset about.

This has been a shitty week anyway and now this :(

Sorry for the double post but I've found it! Grin Emptied my bag out and there it was, saw it straight away! Soooo happy and relieved it's not down a drain or something. I'll go to a jewellers and see if it can be repairs, fingers crossed.

Fantastic! Wonderful news. Hope that it’s an easy fix.

I get you are upset. I lost a stone from my inherited ring and it cost me £300 to replace. However, your Mum isn't being too harsh because it is just a 'thing', it can be replaced. I'm sorry you lost it but don't let yourself get too upset. Thanks

Oh just seen the update! Excellent

Thanks! So relieved. We only got engaged in November. I'll take it to a jewellers tomorrow and see if they can fix it.

My mum has a habit of saying that kind of thing when I'm upset, it only makes me worse! I've calmed down now. I had been googling stones to see if I could find a similar one I could get, glad I don't have to now.
