Seems like a long time since I posted here...I should be ashamed of myself since I still lurk and read all the time!!
Last week my mother gave me my grandmothers engagement ring.My grandparents were engaged in 1915,married in 1916.The ring came from the family jewelry store so it holds a lot of history for me. The center stone is around a carat.Not sure of color or clarity but it is not as low color as my M and I see nothing in it using my 30 power loupe.[overkill, I know!!] It''s been locked in a safety deposit box for years ...I intend to wear it.
I really love its chunky sparkles.
Multiple photos coming.

I had never even seen it before since it was in the bank vault all those years.You would think that since the family owned a jewelry store until the 1920''s there would have been a lot of lovely family jewelry but only three pieces were kept. A sister and brother have the other two. I like this one best of all. I can just see in my mind my grandmother as a young women looking at the ring sparkle in every light the way I am doing now .I can almost feel the excitement in my grandfather as he chose this ring and presented it to her.Makes the years melt away and I feel closer to them than ever even though they have been gone for 20 years now.
