My great-great-great aunt''s (? or someone like that) engagement ring. Six freshwater (not-cultured) pearls in a gold band from 1844 in its original box.
Engraving: H.I.L. to E.C.L. Jan. 1st, 1844.
The box label says: "Lincoln & Foss Jewelers. Corner of Court & Wash''n Sts. Boston."
Thanks everyone!!! I really love it. The only problem is that it''s a bit too big to wear on my ring finger and such an old fashioned ring reeally doesn''t look right on my middle finger...but I still wear it on a few special occassions! And I really appreciate all your kind words!!
Hehe this and the opal ring are my only two family pieces, CFemme, don''t worry! I''m not just dripping with them - that''s why I''m having so much fun showing these two off!
