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
