What are some suggestions for finding something that was lost in my house...?

So, recently I lost a ring of mine that is expensive and has tremendous sentimental value. I have been looking everywhere for it, as have my parents. Where would be some good places to look. What are some suggestions for going about finding it? Unfortunately I usually keep it in the same box but took it out with some of my other more expensive jewelry bc I didn't want to take it on our trip and I needed the travel box. However, now back, I cannot find it in the box that the other jewelry was in... I don't know how I managed to misplace it.

Thanks for any suggestions!

    look in a really obvious place.... THINK!!!!!! a lot of times we look in the trickiest spots ever and overlook the obvious places....and then one day when we give up we sit on the couch feel something weird, reach down and find the lost item or something. think hard...

    Go back and re-create the event of transferring the jewelry from the travel box, to the other box. Do it alone so you have no distractions...you want to try to THINK the same thoughts that you were percolating in those few minutes. (a kind of self-hypnosis, in a way.) If you removed all of the jewelry together in a handful to transfer them, then consider that the ring slipped unnoticed out of your hand and fell somewhere ; decide how far the ring actually travelled over the floor. Now remove all of the furniture from that area to outside that room, so you can be sure the ring didn't fall into a dark corner where you THINK you already looked!

    Remember the last time you had it and trace your steps. Since it's a ring try to look in the smaller spaces and cubbies.

    Looking in the place you'd least expect it to be usually works for me.
