    Default my ring is gone...............

    I was at a shoot yesterday and I had to take off my wedding band and diamond ring. I put them in a compartment in my purse that was not far from me the whole shoot. When I got home, my band was still there, but the diamond was gone. I called the studio, and they looked, but cant find it.
    I am not a material person. There are very few of my possesions that I would truly care about losing...most THINGS are replaceable. This was one thing I considered irreplacable. It was a 5th anniversary gift from my husband. I'm so upset..I've torn my bag and my car apart over and over.
    I just dont see how ONLY that could have fallen out. And the purse was within my sight all day, there was only 4 of us in the studio(2 photogs/owners, me, and the girl I was shooting with)...and I dont see how anyone could have gone through my bag, taken my ring without me seeing it. So I'm loathe to think it was stolen..esp since my other ring, several other pieces of jewlery and cash were all still there.

    I'm so unbelievably upset about this. Hubby was actually better about it then I expected....I thought he'd be pissed(and rightly so) that I lost the ring. This is not the first time I've lost and /or broken something important. But he was really sweet and just said that he would get me another one..a better one. But there IS no better one...there will never be THE one he gave me on the balcony of our hotel on our 5th anniversary...THAT ring cant ever be replaced........I keep wanting to cry.....
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    I know, that's a horrible feeling. It's only the irreplacable things with sentimental value that ever come up missing. Did you have the diamond insured? Is there any way to claim it on your homeowner's insurance?
    I'm sorry for your loss.........

    Hopefully a new one puts a smile back on your face.

    Oh sweetie I so relate to you! I lost my first wedding ring. It was handmade in Nicaragua and designed by my husband's late father so it had a lot of meaning behind it. I was going to college in Japan and I was pregnant and didn't even know it at the time so I was so tired and went to the bathroom, took it off to wash my hands and probably left there. Or I might have left it on a japanese cab. I had lost a lot of weight and the ring kept slipping off so it's so possible it could have just fallen off my finger. I felt so bad, I contemplated having it remade but it wouldnt be the same. This was the ring he gave me when he proposed when he finished high school and left for the military. This was the ring that we exchanged at our quickie vegas wedding. This was something he had from his father and I lost it. It's not even the cost because it didnt have a huge diamond but it was sentimental to me.

    It gets better, my husband bought me a new band and I went to visit him in hong kong so I thought I was smart and left it at home. I came back and someone broke into my house, stole all my LV purses and my wedding band. I had home insurance so it covered it. I ended up buying some cheaper set for the meantime. Yeah, the next pregnancy I lost the diamond part of it. I took it off, can't remember what I did with it and it's gone now. I have just the band now.

    So, we bought another set and I have insurance on it this time. Of course this is a very expensive set but I wasn't about to make the same mistake a 4th time. I never take it off now, it's always on my finger. This one has a lot of meaning behind it, too. We picked them out after my daughter was born and we picked the diamond on it. We put a lot of time and sentiment into it so it's meaningful to me.

    In memory of my ring


    And my new ring:



    And I would trade mine now for my old one in a heartbeat. Nothing can replace it. I hope whoever has it cherishes it and values it.

    I really do hope you find your ring. I went as far as tearing apart the couches in hopes of finding it in between the woodwork. Put ads out and offer a reward. I wish I could have done that, but I was in Japan and I couldn't remember where I lost it. I did put an ad out on base but no one called.

    My ring looks almost exactly like that second one.

    I'm sorry about your ring, Cameron, losing stuff like that is heartbreaking.

    I am so sorry!! There is nothing as heartbreaking as losing something that had so much sentimental value. I really hope your ring turns up.

    Thanks girls..no it wasnt insured....dumb I know. I'm not sure if homeowners would cover it....doubtful since our insurance company went out of business and we are now searching for another.Even if it was...it isnt the monetary value...it's the sentimental value that is breaking my heart...and you cant insure that.


    eyebj: you are lucky that you can wear it all the time. I long for the day I can out my rings on and never take them off......

    Someone on myspace with the header "ray gordon" (http://www.myspace.com/ray_gordon just emailed me:
    "Lost your ring at a photo shoot? That is FUNNY!
    Body: Dear dancer,

    You insulted me personally once on stripperweb, and you insulted me again when you went on a rant about "sleazy producers" and how you are so careful in choosing them. I also know that if I had ever pitched you (maybe I did in the past), you'd have definitely considered me "sleaze" even if I'm 100 percent legit and could have made both of us a lot of money.

    So you see, when I read that you lost a "priceless" diamond at a shoot with ANOTHER "producer" that you obviously thought was more legitimate and scrupulous than me, I just had to laugh.

    so HA HA.

    I'm guessing this is God punishing you for putting down the good guys and kissing up to the bad. "


    WTF???? I have no idea who this douchebag is.......the world is full of a-holes I guess

    oh ray gordon is the freak stalker that has been discussed multiple times on this board. he thinks he is somehow entitled to something because he has some limited knowledge of law. he likes to ATTEMPT to sue people but repeatedly fails. he's the one who tried to sue google for like 5 mil for slander. dubya tee efff right?

    dont worry about ray gordon.. he lives with his mom and spends all day on the internet trolling and telling people he will sue them. you could report his ass to Tom on myspace.

    im sorry to hear about your ring, but i'm glad your hubby took it so well. *hugs*

    Love it!

    He might have you confused with me. He sent me some bullshit email awhile back about producing short movies for internet and cell phones (which is NOT what I do) and then got bitchy when I didn't respond. He used the same "you could have made us both a lot of money" line. What a wanker.

    Yes, I'm sure that God is punishing you for attempting to protect yourself from sleazy producers. God is all "who the hell are you to judge? Just shoot for everyone who asks and let me sort it out. What? You don't think I can do it? One archangel goes bad and everyone questions your judgement."

    I hope nobody laughed at that. Because if you did, you are going to hell.

    Anyway, look at it this way - in 5 years your new band will be the one that husband bought you after being so understanding about the last one. The new one will reflect the sentimentality and value of the old.

    OK I'm going to hell....but apparently I was anyway, so no biggie


    I like the thought that the new ring will be doubly sentimental...thanks. That does make me feel a bit better.

    Hey, congrats! You must have shown some guts and stood up for yourself at some point, or this guy would have never pm'd you. I find it really funny that you don't even know who he is. He probably HATES that. It's okay, he's no one to pay any attention to. He is impotent in his threats (and likely in the bedroom, too...Oops! I'm getting slapped with a law suit).

    I'm so sorry about your ring. You're right, every diamond is completely unique, like a finger print. When you get another ring, have a special ceremony consecrating it. Even if it is something as simple as a breif exchange of vows in the woods or on the beach or whatever. That will make it special and part of your life. It never hurts to pledge your undying love to your spouse, either.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Well I take my ring off for work, BUT I am so careful to remember where I put it. I put it back in it's box, inside my top drawer. Every. Single. Time. Even now I take care not to lose it. Rings dont like me so I remember what I do with it now. If I were to lose it I'd never buy another ring. No point in me throwing more money away like that.

    Are you going to put an ad out? You never know, some people just want the reward and dont care about the ring. I dont think you would lose only one part to the ring. Do you think someone stole it?

    No I'm not putting an ad out....It;s either in my car(maybe my purse fell over and I didnt notice) and I just habvent found it yet, or it's in the studio and hasnt been found yet...or soemone stole it. If it was stolen..theres only 3 people who had any access...the studio owners and the girl I was shooting with. I doubt if they stole it, they'd give it back....but I cant see how they could have gone into my purse(which was 20 feet away or less from all of us at all times)..looked through it and taken my ring without my noticing. We were all in the same room together for most of the day....though it is odd that the diamond is the ONLY thing gone....it was in a separate compatment in my purse with my band(which was still there) and it the purse had opened...I'd think that at least SOME of the 5 pounds of crap I keep in there would have spilled out too.....

    I'm mystified...

    usually I take my rings off before work and leave them at home...the ONE time I forget.....

    Oh I would have been past pissed if this happened to me. There have only been a couple sets that wanted me to take off my jewelry, and I refused on one of them because I KNEW my stuff would magically grow legs and run out of my bag. I have a ring my grandmother gave me and it would kill me if something happened to it. Unfortunately even people that seem like they wouldn't take things from other people in the industry can't help having sticky fingers.

    And don't worry about Ray, he'll Myspace you constantly with threats of all the things he'll do to you. He did it to me a few weeks ago. Report him. He just trolls around different sites all day trying to find people to bother.

    Believe me, i've blocked and reported him already. This guy sounds like a real loser.....who the hell has the time, energy or inclination to be that much of a bother to total strangers...is he off his meds or something?

    have you placed a lost and found ad - I am notorious for losing things (imagine that!) and Craigslist has come thru a few times - I always add emotional value is greater then $ value to throw 'em off a bit and then offer a small reward - worth a try..? I am sorry your ring is missing
    I really dislike wearing rings day in/day out but love to HAVE 'em when I want them - I gave my hubby my wedding ring one night to hold and HE lost it - it ended up being IN the fireplace amongst the ASHES!!! (Not on purpose he promises me ---- I thought I might get a BIGGER ring out of the whole fiasco... BUT with that said the *little* one has SPECIAL meaning to me - and I would of kept it for you know a toe ring or something )

    this happened to my mother... there was a tiny hole in the lining of her handbag and the ring went between the leather and the lining... look again just in case.

    i would be sick to the stomach, if i were in your shoes.
