Looking for my stolen high school class ring

[[email protected]]

Good morning!

I am looking for my high school class ring. It was stolen & pawned in 2010. Location can be anywhere in the Greater New Orleans to SE La.
I graduated from Destrehan High School in 1997.

Ring Description: It is a silver band with FCA cross on one side and a wildcat on the other side. My name is inscribed on the inside of the band. The gem is garnet (class color) with a sunburst facet cut.

Thank you.



PS. Classringfinder.com shut down since I don't know when. I didn't have any luck there.

Welcome to the board! I hate to hear your ring was stolen. I hope you're able to find it. I don't know that our treasure hunting community can help much with a stolen ring. Now lost ring.....we could probably help.

Good luck in your search!

Hey my friend I detect New Orleans and the North Shore and if it was stolen then I don’t know what we could do if it was lost somebody might be able to help you. Unfortunately if somebody stole it and pawned it then you should call up pawnshops in your area before it’s melted down. I hope everything works out for you.

You may wish to contact your school, ask them who made the class rings and see if you can order another one.

Good advice from Don. In my experience, most stolen jewelry gets unloaded ASAP. Here in Connecticut, the pawnshops have very strict regulations which makes tracing stolen jewelry much easier. Most follow the rules which includes copying photo ID of the seller as well as photos of the property. Once the shop gets burned by an individual (meaning the police seize stolen property and the pawn shop loses out) they ban that seller from the shop.
So now the thieves bring it to a “gold and silver” dealer (they aren’t as regulated as pawn shops) where the stones get popped and the precious metals get melted down almost immediately, making it impossible to identify.
I wish you luck but I’d be very surprised if you’re able to get it back.
