Julio Jones hires dive team to try to find lost $150K earrin


Jul 26, 2017, 3:26 PM

Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones recently took a tumble off a Jet Ski, and when he emerged from the lake waters, he was missing something.

One of his diamond earrings, reportedly valued at about $150,000, had fallen out.

So the All-Pro receiver hired a dive team to scour Georgia's Lake Lanier to recover the lost jewelry, according to a report by WXIA-TV in Atlanta.

Divers, who went as far down as 65 feet, came up empty-handed on Tuesday, WXIA reported.

"It's down in crevasses and nooks and crannies," Richard Pickering, one of the salvage divers, told WXIA. "It's impossible -- absolutely impossible."

Asked whether the earring was worth $100,000, Jones told WXIA, "Yeah, yeah, it was worth a little bit."

Jones' jeweler said the earring is worth $150,000.

Jones, who reports to Falcons training camp on Wednesday, said he's just glad no one got hurt when he fell off the Jet Ski.

"As long as I'm good, it's materialistic stuff," he told WXIA. "You can always get that kind of stuff back."

Unless there is a finders fee

I think I'd pocket that thing if I found it.

If Julio's jeweler was someone he met at an Atlanta strip club parking lot, might not be worth the effort.

Note to self. Don't jet ski wearing expensive jewelry. Note #2. don't have *sex* wearing expensive jewelry, especially with someone I haven't seen before.

Sounds like he'll have to .

True story : I was on a tugboat that had one of it's 5 blade , 6 ft stainless steel wheels come off in 22 feet of water .
The GPS position was marked for later.
A pro dive team came down and searched for 3 days before giving up .
Moral of the story if you're Julio ...forget about finding that earring .

I think the more fitting moral is....

DON'T WEAR A EARRING THAT COST $150K WHILE ENJOYING WATER SPORTS.

Jones is a complete moron and deserved his fate for being that stupid.

An older gentleman I met at church lost his Clemson ring water skiing in Lake Murray back in the 50's. The water was ~20' deep and he shook his head and moved on. A couple years ago, they lowered the water in the lake (for ### repair) and he told a friend "about where he was" (sixty plus years later). Yes, his friend found the ring. To me, that ring is worth more than his diamond stud.
