Antique OMC Ring

[marcy]

My aunt has this wonderful ring. She got it from an antique dealer. The center diamond is 6.5 OMC and the diamonds around the side are OMC as well. She has had people tell her it is from the 1890''s or the 1860''s. It is pretty sparkly.

Wowza! Thanks for showing that impressive ring!

I like your aunt''s hands, too.

Thank you Glitterata. It caught my eye immediately so I had to ask her about it and knew I''d have to share it with my PS friends.

It''s ginormicus!! I realize it would have been weird for you to take the ring for a photo shoot, but if you get a chance in the future....

I''d love to see that in some different lights! The halo stones are probably bigger than my whole ring!!

Thanks for sharing, Marc!!

Thank you Sharon, Jcrow, Jewelerman and Somethingshiny.

Somethingshiny, I did feel funny asking to take photos of it.I have a few of it in my ring box (I keep one in my purse) but they are fuzzy.They still had sun on it though.The halo stones are probably the size of my studs.LOL.

Thank you Oddoneout and DiaDiva. Naturally once I saw that beauty I had to ask if I could take a picture and post it on my diamond forum.
