This is my grandmother's ring...She bought this over 30-40 years ago when she first came to America. I just recently got this last spring and my mom has had it in the bank to make sure it's safe. She gave this ring to me.... I wish I could wear it everyday because I am in love... I was thinking of using these diamonds in my future engagement ring, not sure how or what to do with it yet. What do you guys think of that idea?
Don't know the specs, sorry! I am planning on appraising it soon and getting it deep cleaned, and getting all the info...it's currently dirty since its been put away for a long time!!
Ring size is 9 or 9.5!

It's a beautiful ring! If it was me, I wouldn't take the diamonds out. Have it sized to fit your right hand. Then you will still think of your grandma when you see it. I guess I'm kinda OCD about change!
Not sure of the age of these earrings

have a happy healthy new year
here is a pearl necklace i inherited after my father passed early this year, it has matching pearl earrings. i have no idea when he bought it or where...or if it was passed down to him. the clasp is a ruby or a garnet...i don't know what. i haven't had any of my jewellery appraised as it is a VERY expensive process in london (£50/hour + 10% of the item's final value!!!)
i also inherited from him this sapphire necklace. it has matching earrings but my 1/2 sister and i (both september babies) split the set between us
(excuse the smudges!!)
i was recently given this ring by my mum...it was her mother's ring. an amazing cocktail ring, i believe it is from the 1920s/1930s...it looks very deco to me! it's diamonds and suppper sparkly (especially after i had it professionally cleaned). my grandmother had BIG fingers (big arthritis finger joints) and so i had it resized to fit my middle finger but i am going to get it sized again for my ring finger.
(it's a diamond in the centre and then diamond pieces in each petal)
i have quite a few more pieces but none are photographed and saved on my computer!
L - i LOVE your tibetan pieces!!!! so beautiful! esp the chunky necklace with amber!
tillie - your pieces are amazing, i love how you incorporated the brooch into your dress...i never would've known it didn't belong there
itsanaddiction - i think they are all lovely pieces but my favourite is the compact/mirror!!!
grkbella - i think that ring is stunning as is
japster - i am in awe of those earrings...they're beautiful and msot of them look like things you would buy now. it's amazing how cyclical trends are
shanam - your pieces are amazing, the watch is beautiful and how special to have something to remember your gradmother
paepaega - i love the shape of your ring! i can see how it can be bad for gloves...i had a ring kind of like that once but i kept poking myself with it...very painful
monica - the saddle ring is beautiful, i've never heard of or seen any before!
ericaD - that ring is just...wow. i've never seen anything like it
i think that's everyone
