Gold ring with emerald found near Bourbon Street

I found this gold ring with an emerald this afternoon around 3:15pm while wandering along Decatur Street near Jackson Square, right outside Cafe du Monde in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It’s a slender 14k yellow gold band with a bezel-set square-cut emerald, and there’s a tiny scratch along the bezel edge that makes it easy to identify. Inside the shank there’s a faint engraving, 'JL', near the base in a delicate script. The emerald shows a natural inclusion that gives it character and makes it unique. I picked it up because it looked valuable and I really want to help reunite it with its owner—if this sounds like yours, share the initials and how you wore it so we can verify and get it back to you smoothly.
