it took a month for me to find a rain coat, give it at least a month

Over the past 28 years my wifes has gone awol a couple of times. Has always turned up in a couple of days.
Now that set of diamond ear rings (that I bought at the same time as her ring) is another story.
Pretty sure a troubled teen who was in for a Christmas visit decided to add them to her wardrobe. Seen her about 3 times in 28 years so I doubt we will ever know for sure. All we do know for sure is that they never turned up and a little over a year later we turned it in to the insurance. They ended up getting upgraded when I replaced them.

Your description sounds like they didn't leave the house. This is a lot better situation than if you two had gone out to dinner and shopping and a show and didn't know at what point they disappeared. I have a suspicion they will show up in time.

Check drawers in bedroom and bathroom.

This one time I was looking for my reading glasses and turns out I was wearing them the whole time. You did check the other hand, right?
Sorry LOL ... sometimes ya just need a distraction to redirect perspective when searching.

You haven't mentioned it (i don't think), but are there common activities when she customarily removes her rings or was this a one off? If she customarily removes them, what might she have been doing that night that may have prompted her to remove them? Does she even think she removed them? If she removes them for like, washing wine glasses, look where she might have been reaching around and don't forget to look in the cabinets beneath the kitchen sink.

Hidey Holes. Sugar Bowl, Flour Canister, containers in the bedroom, bathroom. etc. Inside socks in the sock drawer.

Good Luck.

My wife "lost" my daughters KU Big 12 Championship ring for almost a year - hid the damn thing and couldn't remember where. Eventually, she tripped over it looking for something else.

I feel your pain. I know a guy (really, really, really well) whose wife lost her 10K anniversary diamond. Nope, no insurance....

We believe baby Cici popped the stone out of my wife's wedding set.
Ugh. I have to sell my vintage Gretsch and a few watches to replace the stone.

Do you have medicine cabinets?

My mom lost hers, and 8 years later found it jammed in the corner of the medicine cabinet when they were moving out.

It will turn up when you least expect it.

Good luck.

Still hoping for good news...

It's funny, I finally got over worrying about other people losing / breaking their stuff.

It took a long time - I'll help look if asked, but I'll be damned if I'm going to shell out cash or spend a crazy amount of time due to their absentmindedness or stupidity.

My kids forget their jackets at school and have to stand in the cold without, sooner or later they'll figure out to find their jackets. Wife loses literally everything, except her jewelry. I assume she insures it but if not I ain't running out to sell a kidney if she loses it and doesn't.

I guess I'm getting old, eh?

If you are so inclined, I’ve found many a lost item after a prayer to St. Anthony. What do you have to lose?

Hoping the best. It's got to be there somewhere unless someone took it.

I haven't seen my wedding ring since 1979. Not lost, I took it off, threw it in a drawer. Never wore it.

I lost my truck keys once... I was beating myself up over that pretty good because I had never lost a knife, keys or my wallet in my entire life. Then, about a YEAR later they turned up. They were in the pocket of a seldom worn coat. My WIFE'S coat!!! Unknown to me She had used the truck and left the keys in the coat when she hung it up and forgot about it.

Lost my High School ring, I thought. But, about ten years later it was hanging in a sack on my front door when I got home one day. Turns out my first wife took it when she moved out. Years and 4 other husbands later I guess her conscience got the best of her and she returned it.

Hope it doesn't take years to find the rings!

If she had a lot of wine maybe she crawled into bed from the floor. Check between the box spring and the mattress

Hope they turn up. Sometimes things end up in crazy places. I once found my glasses in the crisper drawer of the fridge.

Put knee pads on and grab your highest lumen flashlight and get down on the floor. Go systematically from room to room scanning under every piece of furniture you have. Found one of my wife's ear rings doing this along with a bunch of stuff I had long forgotten was missing.

THIS, works every time. Trust me and Bassamatic.

You are very lucky.

I would gladly pay the price of a new wedding ring set to be able to be able to say: "Well, at least I didn't lose my engagement and wedding rings"

Chongo,

who is your insurance company? I have State Farm. About 5 years after we were married, my wife took her rings off in a restaurant to put lotion on her hands. She set the rings in her lap and forgot to put them back on. We left lunch and were each heading back to work. She called me in a panic. I went back to the restaurant. Someone turned in her engagement ring. The wedding band was lost. State Farm was great with the claim and it did not impact our premiums.
