In time for the holidays, I found this incredible little silver jewelry gift box at Salvation and I fitted it with a foam and red velvet insert. I'm not sure if it's real silver (no marks) but it was dull and lifeless until I polished it. The bow on top would have been bright gold but it is a bit worn with just hints of gold left on the top of the loops. It was too special for just one ring so I put all the real silver and one gold ring I had in my collection of costume jewelry in it. They are all nicely mounted with open backs behind the stones. From top to bottom .... An opal and two small diamonds (?) on a .925 silver band. A silver .925 buckle ring with gold accents and clear stones. A silver .925 ring with an oval stone (white sapphire?). A tiny 18kt gold engagement ring with a 1/4 carat diamond (pretty sure on this one). The bottom two are little silver .925 filigree rings. One with a tiny blue stone and the other has a pale green stone. While they are all marked for their metals, I'm not 100% sure about the stones except maybe the engagement ring. Tiny as it may be I do think it's real. -Mike-
Thanks eye :).....I'm sure she would seeing as she sold all of these to me over the last couple months. I'm taking quite a chunk out of her jewelry sales...lol
Thank you Phil :) I think I almost like the box more than the rings. It is a bit unusual. I wonder what was in it originally ? Must have been something special I'm sure.
The rings look gorgeous in this beautiful box Mike. What are wonderful thing. I too wonder what it was originally for.
Thanks Karen :) I couldn't believe it when I found it. I always look for special boxes to store my nicer pieces in.
Cute box! I love boxes!!! Always a nice surprise inside, this one has 6 ;)
