Julio Jones Loses $150k earring in Atlanta Lake

[Professor Mac]

Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jonesrecently 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."

My nikka, first off you hope you could isolate said room you lost it in.....you want to talk about mission impossible, that fukker could be anywhere, up under your bed under some random thing, fukk you gonna pinpoint a lake, shyt might be fish food or chilling in a crevasse

If I was on that dive team and found it, I damn sure wouldn't give it back. Probably paid them like $5000 tops to look for it.
