A couple of weeks ago I went to the gym after work and put my jewelry in my wallet, which zips up. I didn't remember to transfer my jewelry back to my jewelry box when I got home, so it was still in my wallet the next morning when I went to get coffee at my usual coffee shop and then breakfast at my usual truck.
I saw my bezel set diamond earrings in the wallet at my coffee shop, but didn't see them when I went to pay for breakfast. I was super careful when I paid, so I assumed they were in there, just hidden behind a receipt. I got to work and went through my wallet, briefcase, everything, and the earrings were GONE. I called the coffee shop, they looked, I went back there and looked myself, I went back by the food truck and looked, and they were nowhere to be found. I was so mad at myself for being careless, but figured, hey, time to buy bigger diamond earrings then! (And just wear them at the gym from now on!)
Fast forward 2.5 weeks. Yesterday I was at another office for work, and on the way back to my office stopped by my usual food truck for breakfast. I looked down and ONE OF MY EARRINGS was on the sidewalk, just sitting there! I grabbed it and started looking around, and 2 seconds later saw THE OTHER EARRING. It was in the crack of the sidewalk facing up, with the post stuck in the dirt in the crack.
Both have bent posts but the bezels are in pretty good shape, just dinged up, and the diamonds are fine. So they were on a super busy sidewalk for 2.5 weeks by one of the busiest food trucks in the area, and no one (including me!) saw them. I mean I looked several times at the food truck, including for several days after I lost them.
Needless to say, I went and bought a lottery ticket last night...we'll see if I used up all my luck!
Here's a terrible pic of my poor wonky earrings that I took when I got back to the office. They're going back to WF ASAP to get fixed up and I will never lose them again!
