An Inherited Beauty

FrekeChild Ideal Rock Total Posts: 12,885 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/14/2007	So I was going to post this along with my mom's other treasures when I got everything--including her 1.5ct princess solitaire and her wedding band, but apparently my dad is under instructions to hold out on me. So I'm treating you guys to my favorite in the meantime... Looking more purple than it does in real life. _______________________________ "Women are either goddesses or doormats."

FrekeChild Ideal Rock Total Posts: 12,885 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/14/2007	The most delicate milgrain I have ever seen. I could hardly catch it in the pictures, and I can't feel it with my fingernail. _______________________________ "Women are either goddesses or doormats."

FrekeChild Ideal Rock Total Posts: 12,885 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/14/2007	Another reason I'm posting this today is because I had to go to the dentist, and I got a free toothbrush. When I got the ring, it was pretty mucky, but I cleaned it up, and it looks a lot better now. (You can see the toothbrush in the background.) 10kt gold size 7 (ish) 10 x 8 x 6mm scissor cut rectangle (maybe) pink tourmaline eye clean (but with a 10x loupe there is a cloud) estimated to be between 3 and 4 cts This ring was given to my mom by her mother when she was young, because it was her birthstone (October). She was going to give it to me when I graduated from college (December 2009). Because of when she received it, I'm guessing it could be from anywhere between the '40s and the '60s. Heck, even earlier is possible. I really have no idea. _______________________________ "Women are either goddesses or doormats." Pablo Picasso "In all matters of opinion, our adversaries are insane."

Lorelei Ideal Rock Total Posts: 34,227 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	Freke it is beautiful. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers sweetheart. Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn
