Claim For A Missing Ring.
21 Answers
My Dad’s gold cygnet ring went missing while he was in hospital.
It has been confirmed by the housekeeper as listed with his possessions.
I’ve been told to make a claim for it, but don’t know where to start. I’ve looked at items online, but the values vary from small to large amounts.
It belonged to my Mum’s uncle, and Dad was given it when the uncle died.
It was supposed to go to my son, so fourth generation.
I don’t want to look greedy by claiming too much, but I don’t want to claim too little, either.
Whatever we get, my family have decided to give the money to charity.
How much would you claim for?

I’m not saying it was stolen, spathiphyllum, but Dad couldn’t get out of bed by himself, nor could he reach the tray on wheels or the bedside unit.
It’s possible that another ring is missing. He always wore two, and I have asked the housekeeper to go back over the records to see if this is listed anywhere.
There was also a pair of glasses and a set of dentures go missing - but I won’t be pursuing these. Especially the dentures!
He was on so many different wards, that I lost count.
I’m claiming because it’s an item that was listed and has disappeared.
It had been taped to his finger.
We cremated him last week, and want the money to go to Alzheimers Rsearch which was the charity that some people donated to in lieu of flowers.

I doubt I could even describe it any more than a gold cygnet ring, 237SJ.
It’s just something thats been there for a long time, and I never took much notice of it.
I say it was square on the top, and my sister says it was oval!
Having looked at similar online already, I still don’t know where to start.

No doubt you've seen that old gold signet (a cygnet is a young swan) rings fetch from £80 to £800+ depending on the carat and weight so your guess will be far better than ours as you have the advantage of having seen it.
It might be possible to check if he had it listed as a valuable on his house contents insurance - he would have given a value on that.

No, hc4361.
He said he wanted my son to have a ring, but nothing official.
Fortunately, we found another ring in the house, (one that I had forgotten about, as Dad hadn't worn it in years) which when I cleaned it, I could see Dad’s initials engraved on it, so my son will have this instead.
We all just wanted a small keepsake.
I have the tankard I bought him in 1978.
