Crap.

I lost an earring.

Not just any earring.

One of the black opal earrings my mother gave me for my seventeenth birthday, the pair I wear something like 355 days out of the year. In other words, the single most emotionally important pair of earrings that I own.

And I had to snag it on my purse strap and rip it out while walking on a cloudy evening next to a gravel bed in front of a gas station.

As the cherry of cruelty on top of the sundae of my despair, after I'd spent about fifteen minutes hunting on my hands and knees, it started raining.

I keep telling myself that losing it is probably karmic payment for something, that something good will happen now.

It's helping a little. My ear still hurts.

My condolences on your loss. Seriously. It's really lousy to lose something that means a lot to you like that.

I hope something good does happen to you, and that your ear feels better soon.

I know it's no consolation to losing something you have all kinds of attachments to but if you don't find the other earing, consider having the remaining one made into a pendant or have the stone reset into a ring. It's not the same but at least you still have one of the opals.

A word of caution though, opals don't like hot, soapy water. They will crack. Once cracked, the stones are pretty much toast. I know this as I cracked both of my rainbow opal earings when I took a blistering hot shower one day.

That sucks, I'm so sorry to hear that... *hugs you a bit* Hope your ear isn't hurting too bad.

*hugs* I'm really sorry to hear that, hon. But maybe it's as you said: karma at work. =3 And maybe you can find a use for the remaining earring.

*hugs again* I hope you feel better.

Ah, I'm sorry you lost your ear ring, especially in a manner which involved yanking of any kind. I've snagged my piercings on clothing/purses and it's no fun. I hope you feel better and things look up for you!

That sounds sad, but maybe it was a little sign for something that has to do family wise. At least you still have the other one.

. . . Wow...that....SUCKS. Majorly, violently SUCKS. You know....if I could, I'd have helped you look. I have _some_ understanding of how you feel about those....

Dude, if I were you I would totally go back and hunt through those pebbles again. It's gotta be there, it didn't move on its own! Get a friend/s to help you! There more the better! TT^TT Good luck, hope you DO find it. D:
