I'm always amazed by players who wear their diamonds into battle. Serena Williams
has played tennis in hers and track star Sanya Richards
once nearly lost a $20,000 diamond brooch on the track. Both could perhaps understand the pain of Miami Dolphins defensive end Kendall Langford who
lost a 2.5-carat diamond earring at practice on Tuesday. Langford forgot to take out the pricey piece of jewelry and it went missing on the field. The piece was not insured. Langford and his teammates carefully searched for the diamond but did not locate it and eventually left the field for a team meeting. The grounds crew combed the turf but the earring was not recovered. Langford has not said what the earring's value was but a pair of earrings of that size could be worth around $50,000.
