Julio Jones loses $100k earring jet-skiing

Julio Jones may want to remove all valuables the next time he decides to try jet skiing.

According to a report by Atlanta Alive, the Atlanta Falcons’ All-Pro wide receiver lost a $100,000 diamond earring after hitting a wake and falling into the water of a Georgia lake.

“Yeah, it was worth a little bit,” Jones said.

Bobby Griffin, the self-described “Scubaman” of Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Georgia, was hoping he and local salvage diver Richard Pickering would be able to successfully recover Jones’ earring. Unfortunately, Pickering now believes it’s a lost cause, considering the piece of jewelry is likely down about 65 feet in the man-made lake.


Guess the Super Bowl ring isn't the only jewelry he's lost

Rule #1 - remove all valuables before operating high powered watercraft machinery.

See you in fifteen years Julio when you're court claiming you're broke and you have no money for your obligations...

That sucks for him but in Sweden we have a saying "Det drabbar ju ingen fattig" which roughly would translate to "It does not hurt anyone poor atleast".

Re: Julio Jones loses $100k earring jet-skiing

Why even purchase a earring that high in value when you can invest or use on charity. I guess it's just me, I won't purchase anything that would say look at me, I am wearing more than the value of (most people) yearly income on my ear. I don't feel sorry for him and his vanity
