I'm also sad to say I've already!! lost a split pearl from this one...

To answer your question about the maker's mark from many moons ago, I think there is another very faint letter in front of the F. Might be an E or an L?

Got this beautiful TB Starr moi et toi diamond and ruby ring for my 50th birthday. I am a July baby so it is very special to me. Trying to get good pictures is very hard. I am also interested in any information anyone might have on TBStarr. image.jpg image.jpg

I saw that! It’s gorgeous. The manufacturer has a listing in Lang’s Antique University as I recall.

I love it, it has all the things. All the things I love!
The only thing I really know about T.B Starr (Theodore B, Starr) is they were a preeminent jeweler in New York in the 18-early 1900's. Very high quality stuff. Examples in museums and all that...

Thank you! I will treasure it. I am think to send it to GIA to see if the ruby is heated or not. I think it might be unheated. Fingers crossed.

It's supposed to be Burmese sapphires, hence the price. I am sending it in to find out for sure.

Thanks for the compliments! I'm in love. Here's a picture of it with my other unheated rings--Madagascar, Kashmir & Ceylon. I took them out in the afternoon sun! IMG_6598.JPG

Everything is SO beautiful. You are one lucky lady.

I'm still trying to upload a picture of my paltry collection,but I am embarrassed that my phone is smarter than I am.

Oooh, share deets, please! :kiss2:

@lala646 , it's 1.2 something center, SI because it has a tiny chip under a prong, that's not visible to me, not even under the loup. I'll take it in to my guy. The setting is divine. It's pretty wild how spread the old cuts are; it looks huge. I had a 1.8 ct modern brilliant and it was meh in terms of sizing.

Isn't it though? The mount is fantastic, too:love:
