TWO STERLING SILVER TIFFANY CHILDREN'S TRAYS LOST IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)

Kristen called me several weeks ago regarding the loss of her house in the Palisades fire. As soon as residents got the go ahead from the police to return to their properties, we met and I followed her to the site, we looked for several hours for her diamond jewelry with no luck. She felt like there must have been an explosion because there was debris from her closet scattered in different areas, I did however find a few pieces of jewelry, and a large pure silver coins. Then she had me search for two sterling silver Tiffany trays, she had bought for her daughters. I searched and sifted in both of their rooms, and within an hour found them both. I was sad that I couldn’t find her better jewelry, but she was happy to have her daughters trays back which the jeweler will be able to restore.

    Hi Jeffrey,
    Our house burned down on a Wednesday, the second day of the Palisades fire. My adult children went to the house wearing protective wear and went through the rubble trying to find things. I was not able to assist them because I am going through chemotherapy. They brought a friend who had a metal detector but he was getting too many pings from all the metal mixed in the ashes and debris. How are you able to find things in such a toxic environment filled with so much metal from construction. Our house was 2 stories so there is about 2 to 3 feet of debris. I would like very much to see if we can find any jewelry that belonged to my mother-in-law after her passing 5 years ago. My name is Debbie Mink and our house was located in the Santa Monica mountains of the Pacific Palisades. My cell is 310-600-8891 and my e-mail address is mink1841@hotmail.com. When you have a moment I would very much like to talk to you.
    Thank you. Debbie
