metro Ideal Rock Total Posts: 672 Last Post: 2/9/2009 Member Since: 6/28/2005	Got this pretty yesterday! I don't know much about the ring other than it dates from 1930's - 1940's. It's a 7mm deep red garnet set in 14K yellow gold. A lot of fine milgrain work has been worn, but it's charming nonetheless. Here she is!

metro Ideal Rock Total Posts: 672 Last Post: 2/9/2009 Member Since: 6/28/2005	Thanks, all! This is actually the first piece of yellow gold that I've ever purchased. This ring is so organic, which is totally different than anything I own, or what I am normally attracted to. I find this ring and its age so romantic. I am coveting another ring - another art deco sapphire and diamond ring I put it on layaway. Should be mine sometime next month It's very dainty and feminine! I can't to wear it!

Seriously, though, I love that orange-y red garnet set in YG, and it is a beautiful stone as well as a beautiful setting. What a fun ring, thank you for sharing that beauty with us! Now, if only we could get a glimpse of it on your lovely hand....we could go to sleep peacefully. Hee hee hee. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."

metro Ideal Rock Total Posts: 672 Last Post: 2/9/2009 Member Since: 6/28/2005	Oh, you guys... I will post hand pics - promise. I have my camera with me at work today since I went to go pay on my sapphire ring that's on lawaway and I thought I had some nice hand pics of my garnet ring but I guess I deleted them when I upload them onto my home pc But I did snap a few shots of my sapphire ring! I actually couldn't resist and paid off the ring and so I'm wearing the little beauty as I type to you now! I did snap a few pics in the car... Here's a teaser.... Going to start a new thread!
