Early century oec diamond and tourmaline ring

[Linda W]

This just arrived today and I am in love.

It is early 20th century OEC and blue/green tourmaline cab ring.

I am guessing maybe from the 1920's? It has one teeny tiny diamond missing, but I will head down to JE and have him replace it. I will have him clean it too, as it needs a good one. ha.

The two top diamonds are .51 each.

It's wonderful Linda!! Where did you find such a treasure?

GORGEOUS!!!!

 

[Linda W]

Thank you Erica and Catmom. I can't wait to see it, after it is cleaned up.


Here is another shot I took outside. Not a good one though, not in direct sun., but the ring sparkles like crazy.

Beautiful ring! Somehow to me it looks older than 1920's, but I'm no expert. The style is kind of Belle Époque? Can't wait to see more photos.

love!
like!
lick!

What a beauty!!! Please post lots of pics. I am also curious to learn where you found your stunning ring.

I agree with kroshka that it looks older than 1920's....to me it almost looks Georgian?? That would make it older by almost a century! Whatever it's age, it sure is gorgeous!! Congrats on a great find!

 

[Linda W]

WOW Yenny, now I am really curious to see how old it is.

I called JE and am going to try to get down there next week. They will appraise it for me too, clean it if needed and replace that melee.

They are so nice to talk to on the phone.

 

[Linda W]

Thank you Kroshka. I will definitely post more pictures.

Congrats, it is very pretty, I had it saved in my Rubylane list for ages, so it's great that it went to a P/S member!!!!

 

[Linda W]

Thank you. I had it saved for awhile. In fact I showed it to another PS member. ha. I finally pulled the trigger.

Don't they have gorgeous things on Rubylane? Etsy does also.

Yes they do!!!! I have a lot of things save in my list most of which I can't afford but I drool at anyway

Your new ring is better in real life than the vendor pics, I love it!!!!

Hi DS and redwood. Thank you for your sweet comments.



It does look older to me too and I can't wait to find out.

Here are two more pictures that I took today.

This ring is soooooo up my alley! I just love it!!!! So gorgeous, and the fact that it is an antique and has history makes it that MUCH more appealing! <3!!!!!!

 

[Linda W]

Thank you SB621, I just adore it. You are right there is so much history. I so wish I knew some of it., but I could just picture my grandma wearing something like this.

 

[ckrickett]

I looooooove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HeartingDiamonds]

Aww, Linda - you ALREADY know I adore this!

Dibs, yes?

 

[Linda W]

Ha, of course Grace. I can't wait, until I can wear it. I will see Joe Escabar next week, to have him put the diamond back in and make sure everything else is ok.
