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."

albicocca Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,152 Last Post: 3/3/2008 Member Since: 10/11/2005	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!!
