Heirloom needs home

Kelowna RCMP are hoping to be able to reunite a brooch and locket with its rightful owner.

The piece of jewellery was found several years ago, but was just recently sent to police, by mail.

A hand-written note accompanied the item, which read:

"Dear Sir, I found this little brouch (sic) yrs ago on the streets of Rutland but never got around to turning it in. I found it again amongst my things recently. With much regrets for being a procrastinator. Sincerely, A procrastinator."

The item is a yellow gold brooch shaped like a bow, with a gold heart-shaped locket attached.

The locket has been engraved with an undisclosed name, while both the brooch and locket are engraved with flowers.

Inside the gold locket are two photographs, one of a man wearing a military cap believed to be from the Second World War, and a photo of a woman wearing a sun hat.

“This unique piece of jewellery appears as though it would be of significant sentimental value to the person who lost it,” says Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey.

“We need the public to help us re-unite this brooch and locket with its rightful owner.”

If you recognize the man or woman in the picture, you're asked to contact Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.
