Dayna Kathan is asking for help after losing her late mother’s ring. 

Dayna Kathan shares emotional video asking followers to help find her lost ring from her late mother.

On Sunday, Oct. 13, the Vanderpump Rules alum, 34, posted an update on TikTok of her missing ring saga after having shared a video the day before about losing it while traveling to Europe. 

"My mom's ring hasn't been found yet, but I do have a couple updates and a few more pieces of information that I think might be valuable," Kathan said in the latest video. 

She began by thanking everybody who has shared her plea for help and said that her story has reached the flight attendant on her flight as well as the ring maker's daughter. 

Kathan gave additional details about her journey and the potential whereabouts of the ring, saying that she had the entire row to herself on her first flight. Looking back, she believes the missing jewelry piece could be anywhere in that vicinity of the plane, at the Los Angeles International Airport or at Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom.

The reality star said that she did not notice her ring was missing until after she disembarked her plane at Heathrow as she was "really frazzled" because her flight was delayed and she was catching a connecting flight to Copenhagen.

Kathan also does not recall the last time she noticed the ring on her finger. "I always kiss her ring before I take off for good luck and now I am second guessing myself that I did that. Although I do it 100% of the time, I just don't have a clear memory now that I'm looking through the day," she said. 

"People have been suggesting that I pray to Saint Anthony, so I've been doing that a lot, and I've also been asking my mom to help me find it," she shared of her spiritual efforts to locate the ring.

However, the reality star also assured her followers that she is not letting the mishap derail the entirety of her vacation despite the emotional aspects of the situation. "I'm on this trip with my sister because we have never taken a trip together, just the two of us, not in Europe, not anywhere. We did not get to travel growing up because we didn't have the means,” she said.

"So this is a really special trip for us and our next stop is Paris. I've been there one other time in my life and when I was there I spread my mom's ashes. It's a really special trip, and energetically, I know she's here with us, and I know she'd just be so mad if this ruined the trip. So I'm not gonna let it, but it's definitely sad."In the earlier video, Kathan was close to tears while urging people to help her locate the special ring. She included a description and photos of the ring while recalling its sentimental value. 

"I'm gonna try really hard not to cry when I'm making this. I know this is a long shot, but I feel like I have to put it out there and at least try," she said at the top of the video. "Today, while traveling from Los Angeles to Copenhagen, I lost my mom's ring. I was given this ring 12 years ago when she passed away and it is the only thing I have of hers. It's very important to me." 

She continued to say that she was traveling on British Airways Flight 268 from Los Angeles and she remembers "wearing it this morning because I always travel with it on."

"I never take it off and I don't lose important things. This is very unlike me. The only thing that I can think happened is sometimes when my hands are wet, like after I wash my hands, it has slipped off in the past, but I've always heard it," she explained. "Obviously on a flight it's loud and you have headphones on, so that's what I think possibly happened."

Describing the look of her mother's ring, the reality star continued, "It was actually three rings that she had soldered together. It's really unique looking. The bottom band was made with some type of wax, so it has those holes and a lot of texture in it. The middle band is that simple gold band with it just sitting in the setting. And then the top band has the other four diamonds."

"The thought of never seeing this ring again is beyond my comprehension. It's so devastating to me. I know that this is a really slim chance," she added. "It's not like I just lost it at a restaurant, or something. I literally lost it in the middle of international travel."

Kathan ended the first video by saying, "I’m gonna try really hard not to cry when I'm making this. I know this is a long shot, but I just feel like I have to put it out there."

She is seemingly trying to make the best of her trip as she shared a selection of images with her sister in a post made on Instagram on October 13. "i don’t want to hear anything about slide three, i have never deserved a cigarette more in my life," she said in reference to her chaotic travels.

The carousel of images begins with a candid picture of the two standing in front of a row of colorful houses in black ensembles. It continues with a snap of pastries and hot drinks, followed by one of Kathan sitting in a chair with a cigarette in her hand. The rest of the post features photos of various attractions that they have visited and a few sweet portraits.
