Lost engagement ring - how to claim

OMG - I think i've lost my engagement ring and I don't know what to do. I took it off whilst I was clearing out our back garden as I didn't want it to get dirty and was worried it would fall off (ironic, I know) so i took it off and put it in the kitchen. I only noticed after many visits to the tip that it wasn't where I'd left it. At first, I thought my hubby had moved it as a point making exercise but he hasn't and next I though my dogs might have played with it or managed to push it off where I'd left it. Long story short - looked everywhere and just can't find it. I'm absolutely gutted and soooo annoyed with myself. Can I claim on my house insurance? What will I need to do? I'm worried they'll think its a dodgy claim (its not, but i've never claimed for anything so expensive before). Also - if I put a claim in, what happens if it turns up (still hoping it will).
Thanks all.

    Ok. Not all home insurance companies will cover this. Just phone them up and ask. They will direct you.
