Thanks Rebecca. I'm still looking. Along with the carpet in the color pallette you had mentioned - I had a friend tell me she saw creamy carpet with stairs on the left of the room. I have a creamy tan color in my home, and had been working in my home office which has stairs on the left. Last night I had a dream that I found the diamond standing up with a book on top (sort of holding it from end to end) very strange. This makes me feel it could be in my office with all the books. To complicate things - in the 2 hour window that it fell out, I had also gone out on my deck and folded a large bedspread that had been drying. It is white with a peach, mauve and rose colored pattern. I remember the ring picking on it at one point (the diamond could have already been gone, making the prongs stick out). I have a large terra cotta pot on my deck which is another color you had mentioned. Other than pulling the wood out to search under the deck I have looked everywhere. There are small openings between the floor boards. Your help is appreciated more than you could know. Thanks!
