Found!

I was vacuuming under the sofa cushions today and found a diamond ring, but it's not mine! The strange thing is that no one has mentioned losing one. It's been a couple of months since I last cleaned out from under the sofas, and quite a few people have come and gone.

It doesn't appear to be an engagement ring, but it does appear to be fairly valuable if not sentimental.

After sending out a group email to my friends and neighbors, no one has claimed it except for a male friend who jokingly said it was his pinky ring I don't think so. It's still early though so we will see.

Strange, don't you think?

Re: Found!

Quite perplexing, Surfermom
As you've already given them a call to no avail (but obviously get them to describe the ring before you hand it over), maybe one of those people is a close friend who you may now notice has a ring missing on their finger?
Hope it finds its owner though!

It's a pity the finger isn't still attached,it would be much easier to identify the owner.

I don't often find things but lose them us an entirely different matter. Stuff has gone missing when it was virtually impossible to do so, I think I gave a family of gremlins living with me.

How do you know it's a diamond? Did you have it valued?

Just a thought darlin' - but could it belong to a member of staff from whence you purchased the sofa or even a member of staff of the manufacturer???

Re: Found!

Was your sofa brand new to you ? I always buy second hand ones and it's amazing what drop out the bottom or rises through the cushions at times. When we threw the last one out a wallet fell out the back didn't belong to any of us and had cash from the 1930s in it, no cards obviously but a faded photo of a young couple's wedding.

Just wondered if it could have come to you that way ?
