If this might be yours, send detailed description, area lost, and dates of your visit. Very unusual design, so no guesses, please.
If anyone has a suggestion on where to post an international lost and found, please advise. I would really like to get this back to the owner.

I noticed from your other post that you got back to the US from your trip on 15th September. Did you just find the ring in your luggage and guess it came from the hotel in Paris or did you find it in the hotel room?
I don%26#39;t understand why you took the ring out of the hotel where you found it in rather than hand it in to management? I would think that is the first place the owner would go to ask whether it had been handed in; not Tripadvisor Paris forum.

I cannot believe this either. It should have been handed to the hotel managment, or the police. If you found it at home, send it to the police in Paris and they can find the owner
|||
Maybe this is similar to the rings found on the streets of Paris?

This does sound like a pretty weird post and, as noted above, two weeks after return to the US.
If this is for real, then you should call the hotel manager to advise that it%26#39;s coming, get his/her name, and then put it into a Fed Ex envelope addressed to that person and send it back there. They at least can check whether a guest around that time frame has reported it missing.
Personally, I can%26#39;t quite fathom why anyone would take something like that home and then after two weeks %26quot;advertise%26quot; it on TA (what are the chances, after all, that the person who lost it would ever see the post), especially as most people who post on TA Paris Forum tend toward small French hotels, not large fancy chain hotels. Is this meant to be some sort of fable based on the %26quot;found ring%26quot; women on the streets in Paris, or something?

Have already been in contact with the hotel and police who have no report of the lost item. Since returning home, we have been trying to explore other ways to find the owner. We have not been wasting 2 weeks waiting, but are running out of options. Please no more insults on our trying to be good samaritans. We, too, had the unfortunate experience of the %26quot;lost ring on the street%26quot; and would not wish that scam on anyone else.
|||
Please....let%26#39;s allow some benefit of doubt....just as one would if approached in Paris---as example: around the base of the Eiffel Tower, on the steps of Sacre Coeur, etc---by a stranger who had just found a gold ring on the ground and asked if it was yours and tried to return it to you. %26#39;..good samaritains..%26#39; of this sort abound all over.
|||
How is the rightful owner supposed to see your post unless the person is familiar with TA? Sorry, but I think you should have just left it with the hotel to deal with.
|||
Why bother ? Send it, registered if you wish, to Préfecture de Police - Objets Trouvés - 36, rue des Morillons - 75015 Paris, France.

I think it would be a good idea to return the ring to Paris - to the hotel, I think. The person who lost it may still be travelling and may not have discovered that it is missing, or may be on a cruise and may not find it easy to contact the hotel until they disembark.
If the ring is returned to the hotel, they will remember that it is in their possession. If it is returned to the police, even if the hotel is notified, it is out of sight - and we all know the rest of that little truism.
