I just got engaged and the ring is from a NY estate jeweler. I love the ring, but it came with no certificates. Tell me what you think!

It's beautiful... (I'm no expert so that's all I have for you..) but can you put up more pictures and tell us about what they told you about it.. size, color, clarity?
The setting is fabulous... and it looks wonderful on your hand!!!! :love:

I think it's gorgeous!

You should definitely get it appraised by someone knowledgable in old cuts to tell you what you've got. You'll need it to make sure their aren't any structural issues with the stone or setting (unlikely), for insurance purposes, and also just to make sure you paid a fair price.

I'm no expert either, but that looks like a pretty prime exampe of a gorgeous OEC you've got there and the setting is amazing too! I'd agree that it needs to be appraised by someone knowledgable in old cuts, for insurance info and piece of mind (to ensure that the stone is what you were told it is (size/color, etc.) and that you didn't grossly overpay)...would love some additional photos!

Beautiful ring - congrats! The stone looks to be white - what did the dealer tell you about carat weight, etc.?

Most old cuts aren't sent to grading labs so no worries! Just go to an independent appraiser so you know what you paid for!
