Julio Jones Hires Dive Team to Locate $150K Earring Lost in Lake Lanier

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is not hurting for money, but the two-time All-Pro pulled out all the stops to locate a $150,000 earring he lost while riding a jet ski.

Per Brendan Keefe and Christopher Buchanan of WXIA 11 Alive, Jones hired a dive team to scour Lake Lanier for the valuable piece of jewelry after it fell into the water when he hit a boat wake.

Unfortunately for Jones, it doesn't sound like the chances of his earring being found are very good.

"It's down in crevasses and nooks and crannies," salvage diver Richard Pickering told WXIA. "It's impossible—absolutely impossible."

Bobby Griffin, a member of the dive team, described the bottom of the lake as "pitch dark." There were also trees below the surface that made their quest even more difficult.

Even though Jones will probably be out the cost of the earring, he's going to earn $11.5 million in base salary this season, per Spotrac.

If I were a diver and found it, I'd tell Julio "Sorry man. we couldn't locate it at all. it's dark and whatnot down there">

Then drive to Vegas, and sell it on Pawn Stars for $375.

Wearing earrings isn't my thing, admittedly, but why in the hell would you be wearing 150K jewelry while you're out on the water flying around on a jet ski?

I gotta put it in a box, display it, sell it. Have the right guy come along looking for an earring once worn by an NFL player. I'm taking all the risk here . . . . .

It's probably at home on his dresser or something.

Hey Julio, does it have a big huge diamond on it?

Oh, this isn't it. Sorry

What an absolute idiot . Firstly, to even spend 150k on freaking earrings is another reason why so many of these pro athletes go broke.
Secondly, to wear them WHILE jet skiing? Good lord smh.

If he wears it all the time he may not have even thought about it when he jumped on the jet ski.

The only thing worse than spending 150k on a worthless earring is paying thousands more trying to find it at the bottom of a lake.

I am always amused when professional black athletes buy expensive diamonds that are probably mined by African Slave labor.
