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.

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.

here's mine- 1925 art deco 2.0 ct asscher with single cuts along the shank.

Absolutely stunning

Stunning and the special work details are excellent

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!

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.

@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
