When salon owner David Babington was in his early 20s, he found a gold bracelet outside Brown Thomas on St Patrick’s Street in Cork. At the time, he placed an advert in the Evening Echo in an attempt to find its owner, but sadly it was never claimed.

He kept the bracelet safe, however, and 20 years later it is finally making its way back to its rightful owner after he shared it on social media.
