I''ve been following these forums for a while and thought quite a bit about where to post this one in the forums. Not exactly a ''lady in waiting'' and ''show me your ring'' didn''t seem appropriate. I''m interested in your thoughts on this ring as I''ve been reading quite a bit here about Old Mine cut diamonds. I''ve already purchased this item and would like to find a reputable appraiser with experience in antique/vintage items of this age. There''s a neat story about this ring and somehow it just ''spoke'' to me...I just knew this was the one I was supposed to have.

Can you suggest appraisers that have a solid reputation? I''ve seen alot of info on here but don''t really know where to start so please forgive my ignorance. I live in Ohio but would be willing to ship if safe.


Here is what I was told about it...

"18kt yellow gold, 5 stone Victorian diamond band dated 1888-supposedly not a repro. Diamonds are D-E-F and clarity VS-1. The five Old Mine cut diamond''s weight is approximately 1.60 cts with center being .50 cts. "

I will post additional pics in additional forum posts for your review.

Many thanks in advance for your time and comments!

It is a very beautiful ring - I have its twin, and have always enjoyed wearing it, very sparkly.

The above link is from the RESOURCES tab at the top of the screen.

I am in the UK and do not know of these appraisers. The ones who have been on the forum here for years which I would recommend are not in Ohio but are Rockdoc, Oldminer, Richard Sherwood, Neil Beatty.

I'd contact David Atlas, he posts on here as oldminer, he's in Philadelphia.

I know that he has a passion for the older cuts, so your ring would be in good hands.
Your ring is gorgeous, I adore OMC's!!!
