I lost my Christmas present

[MrsG]

Oh, those earrings are very pretty. Sorry to hear that you lost one.

I think that you should tell him. If you happen to find the exact pair sometime down the road, get it and turn and extra earring into a pendant.

My first birthday gift from DH was a "past, present, future" pendant and earrings. Even though they were from Zales, his gift was incredibly thoughtful and very special to me. Well, I took them off to clean and lost both

Told him, and he was surprisingly understanding about it. He still gets me jewelry as gifts, but now I get a "Don''t lose it" warning.

I''m sorry to hear you lost your earring, Starset!

I would tell him. I know you''ll feel bad telling him, but I suspect not telling him would make you feel worse. I would mention that he has great taste and you really love them and that you''d like to replace them if he would share with you where he purchased them [if you can afford them, that is] or to alternately make the other into a pendant. I''m sure he will be disappointed that they were lost but it''s no reflection on you and he''ll understand that too! It''s sad that it''s gone, but it''s not your fault. These things happen. Good luck figuring everything out!

I voted tell him. This sort of happened to me last year. I told my husband I lost one of the very expensive white gold hoop earrings he got me. He said to go buy something to replace the set with, so I did. Then about 4 months later I actually found the earring under my dresser. It was really weird, because it was like you said--I went to take both off, and only one was there. So I assumed I lost it shopping. Maybe you''ll find the earring months from now, maybe not.

I adore those earrings. I want a pair too!!! I like the YG actually. Good luck!

I''m going to tell him tonight. I''ll emphasize that I waited so long because I was really hoping I could track it down somehow. I''m sure he''ll be disappointed, but he''ll understand, too. And of course I didn''t lose it on purpose, but I sure still feel guilt. Maybe that''ll go away once I tell him. In the meantime, I found these online for $25. They have the same look and will match my new pendant I create with the orphan pearl.

Good for you! I''m glad you are going to tell him. And I promise you, you will feel much better and less guilty about it once you get it out in the open...

I voted to tell him also. I believe in honesty in all relationships. You obviously didn''t do it on purpose and feel really terrible about it. Hopefully he will be understanding. I know I wouldn''t be able to wear a replacement of a gift without feeling guilty if I wasn''t honest. The pendant is a great idea

. Best of luck to you.
