Dropped Diamond earring down the drain!

PLease help! I just dropped my earring down the drain. The water wasn't running, it just dropped. Can I assume it's possibly still sitting in the pipe? My husband isn't answering his office phone and I am frantic. Please help me!

Diamond earring down the drain!

DO NOT RUN ANY WATER DOWN THE DRAIN!! Not to worry, if you haven't run any water and flushed it further down in your drainage system your diamond earring is lodged in the bend of the trap. Remove the "J" bend of the trap and dump the water,(and your earring) out. Good luck, Tom

I got it!

Thanks so much. My grandpa called me back and walked me through that drill. Thank goodness for the "J" trap. I appreciate your help!

This will get it back without a plumber or a wrench.

Don't panic its probably sitting in the trap under the sink as long as the water wasnt running. Remove the trap and fish out your earring. Just dont run the water!
