my great-great grandmother''s star sapphire

[acw13]

This is my Great-great Grandmother''s Star Sapphire ring with diamonds in white gold. My mother gave this ring to me a few years back, let me know what you think!

Acw13 - I responded to your other thread but I thought I''d check with you. In the other thread you mentioned the ring was your mother''s grandmother''s ring from 1920''s-30''s but here it says your great great grandmothers. A consistent timeline would help the members to give you a more accurate response.

As I have previously said, if you want to know more about your ring I would take it to a G.G.

I am genuwinley sorry about that, It is my Great Grandmother''s ring.

No worries - just thought I''d check. I hope you get some good responses here - there is a large knowledge base here!

That''s probably one of the synthetic star sapphires that were very popular in the mid-20th century.

Nice to have such a pretty heirloom from your great grandmother!

I agree...very attractive ring...From photo...I would say Lindy brand star set in ring from the late 1960s-mid 1970s....very popular ring in that period.
Side-note....Glitterata...so good to see you posting ....have missed you!
