Have you ever lost something important to you or at least think you lost it and have it turn up later? Well, that happened to me! When hubby and I first got together, he gave me a birthstone ring that I loved! In 2003 when I had my accident and we moved in with a friend, we packed everything we had and stored them in her garage. Now I didn't realize I had packed my ring, I couldn't find it and was upset because I thought it was lost when we moved! Last year, hubby gave me another birthstone (heart shaped) with diamond chips. Yesterday I was unpacking a box that read MOM's Breakable! I took out several things and then I took out my mom heart box that I put all the jewlery in that I wear all the time. I opened it up and there was MY RING! lol I was so excited I went to hubby's work to show him the ring and asked him if we can replace the diamond chip that is missing. I loved this ring so much and I am wearing it right now. lol Don't get me wrong, I love the one I got from him last year, but this ring is 23 - 24 years old! Has this ever happened to you? If so what was it? ~Icy~

Hi Icy-yes I had a heart shaped jade crystal that I found in a street I used to carry it everywhere with mee and still do anyway one day it went missing-after sesrching high and low in all my bags I couldn't find it for weeks-I was very upset as it seemed to allways bring me luck-then one day in the eve I was sitting on the sofa and my ex hubby said whats that under the corner of the sofa on your side? I felt underneath and low and behold my precious jade crystal came out!!! It made me so happy and the times i had hoovered under the sofa etc and never seen it finding it made me ectastic-your friend littleowl

Hi littleowl, I am glad you found your jade crystal. Yes it is funny how we look all over for the things we loose and can't find it and one day it appears out of thin air almost. lol Can't wait to see what other treasures I find when I unpack the other boxes that have been packed for 5 years. lol Oh what fun!

I am sorry to say no but I am glad to know your story has a happy ending. Both rings now have a special meaning to you. Congratulations on finding it again.
