Princess cuts were not around in the 1920''s. Not sure when the princess cut made it''s debut, thinking late 80''s?

I'll give it a try. I think it's Victorian. The letters in the word (regards) were also the type of stones used - ruby, emerald, diamond, amethyst, ruby, garnet(?), sapphire. I believe there are other popular words that were used as well.

I love old jewelery and this is fun! Give us another!

I like that "REGARD" stumper question. It''s always of great interest to students of antique
jewelry and enthusiasts.

Princess cuts were created in the 1960''s.

What''s even funnier about this scene is that the ring in question is a Tacori! A princess center with sapphire side stones. They advertise it in their catalog as the "Monica".

The invisible setting technique was developed in France more than two centuries ago. Grooves in each stone''s girdle slip into a metal framework below the surface, but the metal cannot be seen, so stones sit side-by-side, creating a solid surface of gems...so you know i borrowed this explanation from about.com for ease of explination....but it leads to my next quiz question...what famous jewelry company is famous for using the invisible look in their floral jewelry.....

VCA?

Harriet...im impressed...im not going to my books for your question...i think its either bouchron or Chamet...but not exact...

 

[Harriet]

Bingo! Chaumet.

 

[jewelerman]

NEXT QUESTION...Victorian mourning question....when a spouse died a woman went into mourning...she had to wear black for several months and then could wear lighter colors...mourning lasted a year or longer...what colors were allowed to bring the widow out of mourning black....and what stones were allowed to be worn while in morning...list three....

 

[Harriet]

Jet, Onyx, Amber?

Jet, Onyx, Amber?

Jet and onyx are two that are worn while in mourning...so partly right...hint....the colors after black are grey and then lavender or purple....

 

[Harriet]

Vulcanite? I give up. This subject creeps me out.

Btw, doesn't the rolling ring pre-date Cartier? It was a traditional Russian wedding band.
