Lost Earring.

Now I am remembering twice losing jewellery but not reacting at the time. Rushing for a train I ‘sort of’ felt something go. Safely seated I realised I was wearing a broken slim silver chain around my neck but not the initial it had held. Making for the gift shop of a museum after a tiring day teaching I thought I had kicked something on the floor. Back home I realised I had lost a lovely flower earring, a Mothering Sunday present.
On the other hand after searching a school hall and corridors, plus grass verges outside and asking cleaners to keep an eye open for a tiny silver Tiffany earring I found it. When I got undressed for bed it fell out of my clothes. Now I am remembering the pearl earring which dropped down a hotel plug hole. I asked nicely for someone to look in the piping but I don't think they did. An offer of a reward might have helped!

It might have become caught in your clothing. Check. It happens to me a lot

Could be, or is it in the washing machine ? Or in the filter?

I've lost earrings over the years but have never found one again!

In the shower trap?

Top tip. Get some additional piercings, then style your ears with odd earrings.

I lost a little diamond earring. My mother bought them for me. I might have the one I still have made up into a necklace. Also just to say, the diamond once fell out of my engagement ring but luckily it landed on
the wooden floor at home and I heard it, so please get clasps checked occasionally.

I've lost earrings. I think they go to where all those lost socks go.
I once found one in my bed. Have you looked there?

It’s worth checking the soles on your shoes and slippers- I found a lost earring stuck in the sole of a slipper 😀

When I lose something I was told to say "Stick a pin and find the devil" 3 times. Coincidence or not things have been found. Lol.

Many years ago My friend complained she had lost an earring. A couple of days later I saw it outside a Woolworths in the town centre. The odds on that must have been quite something.

Another ray of hope. Not an earring, but a jigsaw piece I thought was missing. I check them for a charity jigsaw festival and it’s always annoying when there’s one piece missing and the puzzle can’t be sold. Days later DH noticed this particular piece lying on the path of his allotment site. He’d obviously picked it up in the sole of his boots and it had ended up there. Nil desperandum, Calendargirl!

Georgesgran I always keep the single earring. Such a good idea Still

Oh that is such a shame.
I do hope you find it.

I've lost a few over the years and I don't know why but I also keep the odd single ones.

I was, and still am, a fundraiser for a couple of small local charities. I had a brainwave one day - collecting the one remaining earring from a lost pair. Couldn't get it off the ground though. 🤔

I never wear ear-rings in the water and never in the shower. I feel your pain though.

A note of hope - my grandson visited recently and he likes to take a book and read on the stairs. I noticed my favourite ear-rings suddenly appear on the table. He said he just saw them in the carpet on the stairs and picked them up! I don't know how but even after vacuuming a few times those ear-rings I thought I had lost where there all along!

So my advice is if you have grandchildren get them to look around! Or sit on the stairs and read a book for a while!
Hope they turn up somewhere completely unexpected for you.

I lost a star stud earring that my lovely late ex mother in law gave me. She carried on being a great support to me even after the divorce. It really made me sad OP. More recently I lost a lovely silver and blue shell one that my husband had bought me. He’s a bit clueless with presents but cracked it with this one. I lost it trying on clothes in town so retraced all my steps. I’d almost given up, when I saw it glittering at me from the aisle of a shop, looked like it was calling to me! 😂 I was so happy.

I hope you find it. 🤞

I’ve lost, and found, so many earrings over the years, so I never throw a single one away. One even managed to slip between floorboards and ended up on the coal cellar floor.

I’m missing a pearl one at the moment. I haven’t worn it for ages, so goodness knows how it’s escaped the jewellery box.

Like others I have lost earrings over the years. Several times I’ve found the missing much later one caught up in necklaces or scarves. Also if they fall onto the floor it’s easy for them to be kicked under furniture.

I'd been having lunch with a friend when I realised I was wearing only one earring. We retraced our steps and searched the restaurant where we ate. Giving up hope. I went home and... on the bottom step of the stairs there was my missing earring.

I was in the garden and realised I’d lost an earring. I was comforted by the fact I knew it was at home. Much later that day I was washing my hair in the shower and it fell out of my hair. So lucky it didn’t go down the plug hole.

I hope yours turns up.

I’ve lost quite a few over the years, including a big pearl and an emerald drop which I lost in Harrogate.
What I don’t understand is why I’ve kept the other, even though I know it’s ’mate’ isn’t going to turn up 10 years later!

I feel your pain. There's something so sad about being left with just one much loved ear ring. I lost a beautiful intricate silver hoop walking the dog last winter. I think it caught on my coat hood which I had up as it was wet and windy, I still find myself searching for it when I take the same walk. Mismatched ear rings are supposed to be fashionable but it's not my style although I have worn it on it's own because I love it so much.

That's such a shame. I thought I had lost my wedding ring, but it turned up in a finger of my washing up gloves.

Have you checked all your clothes, swim suit, towels, hair brush? Anything which may have come close to your ears. I expect you have checked everything.

I do hope it turns up
