....and my wedding ring too. Remember when I said I lost my ring? Steve automatically suspected the cleaning ladies, I gave them the benefit of the doubt...until this weekend.
I wanted to wear my diamond heart necklace but when I went to get it, it was nowhere to be found. Now I know I misplace things often, but losing two pieces of diamond jewelry? That seems highly coincidental doesn't it?
I'm still not 100% sure it's them, but all other explanations have been exhausted. The necklace was the clincher. The worst thing is, it could have been taken at the same time and I just noticed now, since I rotate my jewelry and haven't worn that one in a while. Those were my two most precious pieces of jewelry, and not for monetary reasons, but for sentimental ones. Obviously my wedding ring (and engagement ring - they were fused together) means a lot to me, and the diamond heart was given to me after I had Emily. It was the first piece of jewelry that Steve picked out all on his own and it was perfect.
So I'm calling the company today and telling them I no longer need their services because I'm no longer comfortable having them in my house. I'm a trusting person by nature, so when stuff like this happens, it tends to totally throw me for a loop. It's incredibly disappointing to me because I really don't want to believe they took it, but all evidence seems to point that way.
Even if we replace the ring, it won't be quite the same, knowing it's not my original wedding ring and engagement ring. And I'm heartbroken over my necklace.
UPDATE: To add to my suspicion, the phone number for the office is being "checked for problems". Um yeah, since Saturday. I'm going to try to send an urgent email and see what happens.
UPDATE #2: I heard back from the company. They will be investigating on their end, and their policy is to submit a police report, which is what I am going to do as well. They had moved, hence the phone number problems. Yet, I don't have much hope in the jewelry being recovered.
