Curaçao
Lost a ring or watch on Curaçao?
From Mambo Beach and Jan Thiel on the Banda Ariba side to Cas Abao, Porto Mari and the Kenepa coves on the Banda Abou side.
Yes, a ring, watch or set of keys lost on a Curaçao beach can be looked for. What decides it is how closely you can place the moment, down to the beach and whether you were on the sand or out with a mask.
Ring Seekers is a lost ring and jewelry recovery service that works with experienced local metal detectorists to search for a ring, wedding band, watch, keys or phone lost on Curaçao.
Tell us what happened and where. We choose an experienced detectorist who knows the beach, brief them with your map and photos, and tell you honestly if the odds are poor.

Questions about Curaçao
Snorkeling the double reef at Porto Mari cost me my wedding band.
Porto Mari is a sandy bay with clear, calm water, and its double reef is easy to reach straight from the beach. Tell us where you went in, whether you reached the first reef or carried on to the second.
A watch went missing after we swam out to the raft at Cas Abao.
Cas Abao has white sand, many gazebos for shade, a raft moored off the beach for sunbathing and playing, and reefs where people snorkel. Say whether the watch was on when you swam out, whether you climbed onto the raft, and which gazebo was yours.
Can an Oura ring be found on Mambo Beach?
Mambo Beach Boulevard is a two story strip with several beach areas and restaurants on the upper and beach levels, so the bar or restaurant nearest your loungers is the best landmark to give us. Say too whether you went into the water with the ring on, or only noticed it gone back on the sand.
I dropped the rental car keys in the sand at Jan Thiel Beach.
There are four restaurants on Jan Thiel Beach, among them Zanzibar and Zest, so the name of the one you were at already narrows things down. Then tell us the last moment the keys were in your hand.
An earring came off in the shallows at Blue Bay.
Blue Bay has soft white sand and a sea floor that slopes gently from the beach, which is why families like it. Tell us whether your lounge chairs were nearer the bar and restaurant or the water sports center, and whether the earring came off in the water or on the sand.
Is a gold chain lost off Playa Kenepa worth reporting?
Kenepa Chiki is the quieter beach close to Kenepa Grandi, and from the small cove at Playa Kenepa snorkelers swim out to a drop-off along the cliffs. Say which beach it was and whether you stayed over the sand or swam toward the cliffs. If it went down off the drop-off, that is a long shot, and you would hear that from us first.
We lost a bracelet on a boat day to Klein Curaçao.
Klein Curaçao is a small island off the coast, reached on day trips with dive operators and charter boats, with soft white sand, little shade, a lighthouse and shipwrecks. Say which boat you were on and whether the bracelet came off ashore, in the water or on board.
Can anything be done about sunglasses lost at Daaibooi?
Daaibooi is a small bay close to town, with pergolas for shade, a snack bar and a small fishermen's cove, and people snorkel along its rocky ledge. Tell us if the frame is metal or plastic, since a plastic pair is found by eye or by a diver.
