Julio Jones hires dive team to find $100K diamond earring in lake
Dale Zanine / USA TODAY Sports
Julio Jones lost a very expensive diamond earring while jet skiing on Lake Lanier in Georgia recently, so he hired a dive team to help retrieve it.
The Atlanta Falcons wide receiver told WXIA-TV he suspects the earring, worth more than $100,000, fell off after he hit a boat wake and was tossed into the 65-foot deep water. The dive team has come up empty so far, and considering the bottom of the lake is pitch black, there's a good chance the earring will never be found.
Jones doesn't sound too concerned, though.
"As long as I'm good, it's materialistic stuff," he said. "You can always get that kind of stuff back."
