He held on to the earring all year, and on Tuesday morning, two days before the one-year anniversary of the Capitol riot, he posted about the jewelry again.
"I still have this earring that was likely lost on January 6 in the House Gallery. It was probably lost by a Member or reporter in the gallery closest to the Radio/TV Gallery. If it's yours, let me know," Lowry wrote on Twitter.

Ferris' colleague Melanie Zanona, a fellow Capitol Hill reporter from CNN, was excited to see Ferris had been reunited with her hoop.
"I was with @sarahnferris on January 6th when she lost this gold hoop earring, which was a special piece of jewelry to her," Zanona wrote on Twitter.
She said the pair briefly searched for the earring but since they were exhausted, they gave up.
