dropped & lost diamond -can you help me find it

[sairejayne]

I have dropped a small diamond onto my bedroom carpet and now cannot find it after hours of searching.
Does anyone know of any tricks or hints to help me find it?
Thanks

Stretch and secure a pair of tights or pop socks over the nozzle of your vacuum cleaner - it should pick it up without allowing it to go up the tube. Good luck - (I use this all the time to find my contact lenses - works a treat!)

Try putting a pair of tights over the end of your Hoover attachment and running it over a small area of carpet at a time, checking after each sweep. Hopefully the diamond will get sucked onto the tights.
Good luck.x

the vac idea seems a bit worrying to me I would accidently vac it up.

I would try:

Darken the room and use a strong light, torch or spotlight to slowly scan the floor to see if the light hits the diamond and shows up

Use masking tape or cellotape wrapped around your hand, press it down to pick up loose 'stuff on the carpet.

Check the bottom treads of shoes that may have been walked on the carpet.

Check inside stuff eg random stuff round the room it may have fallen in..boxes? Even inside your clothes - your bra you socks etc

Have you got anything that could magnify the carpet some strong reading glasses you can scan the carpet with.

Re trace you steps and look where you may have walked the diamond earlier.

Look down the edge of the carpet/skirting board, around door frames and the strip of metal across the middle of the doorway - dont know what you call it.

very powerful torch?

Maybe you should wrap a piece of cellotape around your hand and gently dab at the carpet. Good luck
