I just have this underlying gut feeling that my engagement has fell off into one of the bags that were either taken to the charity shop or dump :( and to be honest I'm dreading making a claim as I have no receipt as the ring was bought over 30 years ago plus the insurance card that came with my engagement ring has since been lost due to moving house 3 times but I do have pictures of it sadly the jewelers that we bought it from has since closed down.

I was wondering can anyone advice on claiming is it really worth the hassle as I just cannot be bothered as I have my Mum's funeral tomorrow. I'm finding everyday life extremely hard at the moment and I feel this is a hassle that I could without tbh and anyway the ring might turn up I just do not know what to do. Hubby thinks the ring is lost as we have checked everywhere and we should make a claim sooner rather than later but the way I look at it is we have the money to buy a replacement if needed so why be hassled with making a claim.

@ nash I have asked my Dad to ask my sister what charity shop she used.

@ Jo we have only been with Direct Line for 7 years and although they dealt with our legal expenses we remain claim free.

My ring was quite unusual due to being two tone, it was a half carat twist solitaire in two tone 18ct gold the base was yellow gold and the top of the ring was white gold many people thought my ring was all white gold. I have looked on line and have came across nothing that resembles my ring. The closest I have came across is this but my ring cost hubby £850.00 many many years ago no where near this price. https://www.fraserhart.co.uk/18ct-wh...aire-ring.html

Image this ring being half yellow gold at the bottom and this is my ring.



Thanks Jo and nash to be honest I'm absolutely dreading tomorrow.
