Summoning
If you lose a precious item, for whatever reason, you may always resummon it via the Special command.
Expiration
Precious items, being temporary, have an expiration to them. You may, at any time, review the date at which such items will expire via the OOC command. Threshold has a daily routine to check at 6AM ET for those expirations and remove those expired objects from the game.
