Hi everyone!

Long time lurker and first time poster in this thread :)

I've just purchased this band off a place that can't be named here and I'm wondering if someone here could help me date it or give me some more info about it.

It's described as 18k with 10 diamonds in the Si range and I-J in color. The seller said that the band has OMCs but it doesn't look like that from the photos. The band doesn't have any markings other than K.M.L stamped on the inside.

TIA

I have a library of vintage jewelry catalogs, and found some rings very similar to yours in the
1930 edition of the L&C Mayers Company catalog. Attached is a scan from the catalog.
Enjoy your new treasure!

Cheers,

Groucho

Thanks so much Groucho! I was guessing 1930s or 40s

Do you think the diamonds are OEC or transition cuts? They don't look likt OMC to me.

Hi Bleeblue,

I love 'em, but unfortunately, diamonds aren't my area of expertise.
Perhaps one of our more in-the-know peers can hazard a guess.

Take good care,

Groucho

I am no expert and the photos aren't real clear but it looks like the table on those stones are too large for them to be OECs. But still a very pretty ring.

I've got the band now so I thought I'd share some photos - I had planned on resizing it but I think I quite like it as a pink ring :bigsmile:
