I was frantic to say the least! I was crying histerically when I called my husband. He assured me we would try to get it out when he got home by taking the pipes apart but couldnt promise anything. So while searching on the internet I came across this site and immediatley tried it! All I can say is Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!! It worked like a charm and I am wearing my beautiful sparkling ring today! Thank you so much!!!!!

Today my replacement earring worth $3500 went down the shower drain, so I called a plumber because I was able to turn the shower off as soon as I saw the earring go down the drain. While I was waiting on the plumber I went online to see if there was any hope of retrieving the earring and came across this website. I thought I would try the technique and it worked!!!!!!!! I could not believe it!!! Not only did I get the earring, but I got the back to it as well. Thank you very, very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another related tip for you: if you ever drop something on the ground and can't find it, the vacuum/pantyhose trick will work to pick it up, but if you don't want to risk damaging it, hold a flashlight parallel to the ground... it'll make the shadow of the tiny thing a few inches long, and you'll spot it right away. Cool tip!
