Lost my wedding ring...
So I run over to Anns (my neighbors house where I have been showering, since I have no hot water ... still...thats a whole other story)...Its not there....where did I leave it??????? Go back home rip open the vacuum cleaner bag...nothing...go through the garbage that I threw in the dumpster...picking through dog poop, mussel shells and gross misc. junk...no ring... Brian comes home from cali...."Why are you so freaked I??" I told him and he said "Im not going to get upset, you'll find it..." I was crying and carrying on.....He said just go about your day.. So, I did what Brian said...go to the grocery store, continue on your errands..etc....about 5 pm, It dawned on me...I had worn a long gold chain belt as a necklace the day before...but I had taken it off in the bathroom. I race to the closet and sure enough it was nestled in the belt on the shelf.... Sigh...that was THE longest 7 hours of my life....I scream to Brian that I had found it...he came up to me, hugged me..and said..see I told you that you would find it.........again, sigh... Has anyone else ever lost or misplaced their ring(s)? |

| Darcy -- I am so glad you found it! Sounds like Brian is cool under pressure and very supportive. I wondered where you were yesterday. |
I'm so glad you found it! Haven't "lost" my ring yet. I frequently do have a sudden panic that the stone is missing from the setting. I freak out inside for a minute and then am so relieved it's still there  |
| I'm glad you found it Darcy. It sounds like you take it off alot, do you have to? The only time I take my rings off is for cleaning. |
| Part of me wants to lose mine, I want a different one...when we picked the rings, my husband to be had to pay for our entire wedding alone...no help from me, or my family...I asked and my dad said no. I was barely working parttime...anyways I felt bad and didn't want to add stress...so I settled to something okay for a ring...but for all three pieces, engagement, wedding AND first year would only cost $1000.
Now I want a solitaire, with diamond I can see...LOL I am so selfish. Perhaps I'd feel differently if Rob went and picked it out himself...but I have regretful memories attached to mine...of a cheap family, how poor I was, and had no idea that Rob could have afforded more...altho he didn't tell me...he just wanted me to pick what I wanted. And I picked the cheapest one in the case, aside from a plain band. Glad you found yours. |
| Thank goodness you found it!! The first thing we did when we got my ring was to get insurance on it. I just can't imagine losing it though due to sentimental value. |
| I lost my wedding ring once. It must be 13 or 15 years ago.
As I was putting it on in the morning, I dropped it and heard it "ting!!!" once as it hit the wood floor. I absolutely could not find it, but I had to go to work. When I came home, I searched the bedroom, top to bottom, starting of course at the bottom. I looked under the bed, in all of the bed linens, I looked everywhere. I tore that bedroom apart for hours. I don't recall how I found where it was, and neither does Joan (I just asked her). But we both remember WHERE I found it. Anybody want to guess? |
| Ginny, I only take my ring off at night. The center stone setting is too high. It gets caught on everything...sheets, hair...so I have always taken it off...I am reconsidering doing so, but really to sleep with jewelry on drives me crazy.... |
| Ron, I'm guessing the toilet. |
| on your finger? |
| Did it involve Jake? |
| No, it wasn't on my finger or in the toilet, and doesn't involve Jake. This was before we got Jake in 1992! So it's at least 14 years ago... |
| Oh, yes - many mishaps with my rings!!
Once I "lost" the diamond in my engagement ring. Luckily I saw when and where it came out, so I just had to get it re-mounted. Turns out my original ring only had 4 prongs and one broke. They fixed it to have 6 prongs. And in the past few months, I've lost my mother's ring. Not my MOTHER'S ring, but the ring given to me by my family as MY mother's ring. It was very original, as Dale had it designed. It was designed so that I could add stones for grandchildren when they come. I was, and still am, VERY upset. I hate to talk about it because I feel so badly for him, but I also feel so badly for MYSELF because I truly loved that ring. We tore the whole house apart, including garbage and vacuum bags - nothing. So now my right hand ring finger is empty. 
SO glad you found your ring!!  |
Glad you found it! 
I would have been freaking out. Instead I just broke my ring and lost the diamonds. 
I still don't have my wedding ring back from the jewelers.  |
| Per State Farm insurance, my engagement ring and wedding band must either be on my finger or in a safe that is bolted to the floor and the wall for the insurance to be valid.
That said, I would totally freak out if I lost either of them not so much for the sentiment as much as the value of them. |
Wynnette....really...well if its on your finger how can it get lost? Insurance companies!!  What ever!! |
I did lose mine once, many years ago. It was when we were engaged, so it wasn't the whole set. I was doing cleaning and chores at home, and at some point I realized it was missing from my finger. Same freak out as Darcy  , called Todd, I'm all upset. I am ripping the house apart trying to find it, backtracking on all I had done.
I finally found it in a pair of jeans I had washed and folded - it must have slid off my finger as I was folding. Now that isn't a problem, the years have added some "plumpness" to me and the ring will never accidentally slide off . |
| I'm SO glad you found it. I lost mine while I was pregnant. It wouldn't fit on my finger anymore, so I had to take it off. I put it in a jewelry box, and it got misplaced when we moved into our house. Thankfully, a few days later it was found. It had went under a seat in my parents' car. I think I cried the entire time though...didn't help that I was so hormonal from the pregnancy on top of it! |
| I guess the guessing has ended.
It had bounced on the floor and landed in the hem of my french cuffed pants. I had looked in the morning, gone to work, worked all day, came home searched the room, and it was in my pantleg the whole time. We don't recall how it was found, but I'd bet it was when I hung the pants, as they get inverted before going on the hanger. |
| Darcy,
I think they were more worried about theft rather than me losing my ring. I normally bring it to the jewelry store every 2 months for cleaning and to make sure all the prongs are still tight. I have six prongs on the main stone. But it sticks up to and dog hair is continually getting stuck in and around the prongs. |
| Phew Ron. When hubby hangs up his pants and forgets to remove all the change, I'm the only one who hears it drop. "Next time you'll tell me how much I dropped," he grumbles. Heck no, I wasn't in the Army or had mastoid surgery, I still have my hearing. |
| So glad you found your ring Darce! Before we got married, I lost my engagement ring. Mike and I were staying at his folks cabin.His dad was doing some renovations to it, and the walls weren't done (enclosed) yet. I put my ring on the windowsill and went to bed. I woke up the next morning only to find it MISSING. Turns out during the night I had bumped the wall and the ring had slid off the sill INTO THE WALL!!! I thought it lost forever, but luckily I married into a handy family. mike's dad took apart the offending wall plank and rescued the ring. (not of course, before I spent about 5 hours sobbing in front of all my assorted to be inlaws!) GOOD TIMES! |
| Glad you found your ring darcy I have lost mine on occassions, I think they call it a seniors moment. Put it somewhere and if I forget about it and not think too much about where the heck it is, it turns up in the most unusual places LOL |
Not sure how I missed this post yesterday, but I'm glad you found it Darcy 
I haven't lost mine, but I never take them off. I take my other rings off, but not the wedding rings. I do often worry that the center diamond will pop out and get lost, it's in a high setting. We don't have insurance on it... I keep meaning to do something about that, but never do |

A man that hangs up his pants..... what a foreign thought. My men can't even find the laundry basket.

| Nothing magical, all very scientific.
If I didn't hang them, they'd get very wrinkled and it cost 7 or 8 bucks then to get them dry cleaned with the rest of the suit. The need to wear suits combined with a distaste for spending extra money changes the gene on the Y chromosome that's responsible for an inability to find the clothes closet. |
| Well there you go! That's the gene that is missing in my house. My
guys have no trouble wasting $$, but they also know that I will take care of it. I will end up picking whatever up, and ironing it. I'm the tightwad here, and the bill payer, and the maid, and the chef and the nanny, and the handyman, and the mechanic (sometimes).... I guess I'm feeling a little taken for granted. poor me
pathetic Shellie |
I'm not allowed to take mine off.  Lol. James is in the stage now where he checks to make sure I wear it everywhere I go. If it wasn't kind of cute, it would be annoying. |
| I have a terrible story! I fell in the snow last week and with my hand shrinking because of the cold, my ring that my father had given me fell off. It wasn't worth very much ($ wise), however the sentimental value of it was incredible. I still feel sick to my stomach thinking about it, I really hope it shows up! |
| Oh I hope so! The snow will melt eventually, and I bet that's
where they are. I lost my keys when I was younger. I was clowning around outside in the snow with a friend and never realized I had lost the keys. My dad found them in the spring while he was raking out the flower beds. He gave them back to me on a nice big leather keychain with the word THINK on it. I never lost that set again.
