Lost grandmothers part of ring
Description
More than happy to offer a reward or buy you pints if found. On Friday evening, I lost a really special part of my grandmother’s ring, and I’m absolutely gutted. It’s the inside piece of the ring—an orange stone with a little white cameo face in the middle (I’ll attach a picture).
I was having drinks in The Exchequer in Ranelagh and realised it was gone when I was heading home. I got the 15 bus from Rathmines outside Blackbird to Marino, and checked bramstoker park and since then I’ve tried retracing my steps, but no joy.
This ring means so much to me it’s one of those pieces that you just feel connected to. If by any chance someone spots it on the street, on the bus, or anywhere in between, I’d be over the moon to hear from you.
Thanks so much for reading this and here’s hoping for a bit of luck and kindness. You’d really make my day!
Cheers!

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Garda stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider asking your local Garda station for advice first.
Keep communication on Lost.ie
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, PPS numbers, or copies of your ID.
