Passed down from my grandmother

[Deia]

Hi all

A few years ago my grandmother gave my mother this ring, she has now given it to me. My grandmother received it has one of many gifts from my grandfather in her early 20's. Unfortunately he employed an untrustworthy accountant at his company and they went bankrupt and had to pretty much sell all their stuff - including her jewelry. She kept this ring and her wedding band (a full baguette eternity band - next time I see her I will take pictures it is beautiful!). I've just had this setting fixed as one of the flowers came off and decided to post some pictures of it! Hope you enjoy.

Sorry about the size!

It is 18kt yellow gold with 10 bezeled (plat or wg - not sure) graduated single cut diamonds.

That's it for now

Thank you Amethyste, Burberrygirl (again! , Kaleigh, Chrono, Luckyeshe, princessplease, chiquitapet (thanks for saying my hands are pretty that made me smile!), swimmer, joflier, legra, MC, Camille and tigian for all the kind words!

To think that my mother gave it to me because she didn't wear it as it wasn't really her style! This is my only piece in yellow gold, and I am loving the rich buttery color of it I love how it's at least 60 years old!

I find it quite unique as well

I was in Harrods not too long ago and got stopped by this lady next to me at a counter because she loved my ring! That made me so happy
