I recently inherited this ring from my grandmother, Helga. I love it, I think of her every time I see it. She wore it every day, and I believe it was given to her when she still lived in Berlin, so she had it since before 1949.

I have no idea what the specs are, and I''m not even sure if the diamonds are OMCs, OECs, or something else. (Any ideas?) The setting is yellow gold, and it fits me perfectly.

I wear it with my wedding band, as pictured. (I''m a horrible photographer, these are the best I could get.)

I just love, love, love heirloom pieces like yours.

Without seeing the 2 diamonds up close, I would guess them to be old mine cuts - check out those teensy tables!!

Wear in great health, much love, and lots of happiness always!
 
love it, haven. what a lovely sentimental piece. you''re so lucky to have something like this to wear...
 
What a beautiful ring. I love that it is an heirloom!
 
Very pretty!

You know, I''ve never seen a photo of your eng. ring! Do you happen to have a photo on your disc drive?
 
Pretty ring with a lovely story!
 
Lovely!!!!!
 
Thanks, ladies! It is such a special ring for me, I love it.

HeartingDiamonds--The tables are tiny, you''re right! I''ll ask our jeweler what he thinks when I can bring the ring in.

MC--Here''s a picture of my set. I wear my ering on my right hand, now. (Well, I was wearing it on my right hand before I broke my elbow, I can''t get anything on my right fingers, now!) There''s an old thread of my ring on here, somewhere, but for some reason I can''t find it.
