I LOST MY MOM'S GOLD JEWELRY!

If anyone finds this, I will be forever grateful for its return, along with offering a reward.

On June 28th, I checked out of the Extended Stay America Hotel on Warrenville Rd in Lisle, IL, after attending my mother's funeral. I thought I had packed a box of her gold jewelry in my purse, but when I arrived home in Los Angeles, I discovered it was not there. I was sure I had accidentally left it in my hotel room, as my purse never left my side the entire trip. However, the hotel, car rental, airport, and shuttle companies did not find it. I am absolutely heartbroken, as these were pieces my mother always intended me to have.

I believe the cardboard box the jewelry was in measured about 4x4 inches, and had a gold top that said "Metropolitan Museum" on it. It was held together with an elastic band. The jewelry contained was:

1. a San Marcos 14k gold bracelet
2. a Metropolitan Museum gold bracelet
3. a diamond and 14k gold ring with an ivy leaf setting, which had been my grandmother's,
4. and two costume jewelry pins.

I am showing photos of two of the pieces for identification purposes. Please, if you have found or know anything about this, please email me at stockdunn@roadrunner.com. There will be no questions asked. It would mean the world to me to have my mother's jewelry back where it belongs. Thank you.
