Reward Offered For Foothill High Student's Missing Rings

PLEASANTON, CA — A Foothill High School senior is asking for help in recovering two rings — family heirlooms — that went missing after she accidentally left them behind in a bathroom.

One of the rings, a marquise-shaped amethyst in a gold setting, was given to Tali Koransky by her grandmother. The other ring is a gold band covered in plumerias and was given to Koransky by her aunt.

Koransky's family is offering a $100 reward for anyone who returns the rings. Anyone with information may email her father here.

"They're really important rings and if they get back to us somehow, that would be amazing," she said.

Koransky said she took her rings off to wash her hands in a school bathroom around sixth period on the day before school closed amid the new coronavirus pandemic. She was driving home on Foothill Road when she realized her hands felt colder than usual and her rings were gone.

"I guess I just left them on the sink," she said.

She made a U-turn, raced back to campus, found a teacher to unlock the lost and found, and even rummaged through the trash to no avail. She was hysterical by the time she got to the office to ask for help.

Koransky has been trying to track down her rings ever since.

Both are very sentimental possessions, she said.

The amethyst ring was given to Koransky on her 12th birthday from her grandmother, who also receiving the ring as a gift on her 12th birthday.

The plumeria ring represents her aunt's favorite flower. Koransky said her aunt's backyard has plumeria trees throughout.

"Now we're just basically waiting and hoping that they come back," she said.

Foothill Vice Principal Malcolm Norrington said anyone may contact him to return the rings, no questions asked.
