Necklace lost on Lambton Quay - please help find it!

Lola from Brooklyn

This might be a long shot but I thought I'd try it! I lost a necklace on Lambton Quay last Monday, 18 November, somewhere between Woodward Street and Les Mills gym. It's a small, round, white gold pendant on a fine chain.

Maybe you picked it up; maybe someone you know picked it up; maybe you heard someone talking about finding a necklace; maybe you work in the area and it was handed in by a passer-by... I would be really grateful for any information as it has huge sentimental value. If you think you know something please get in touch. Thank you :)
