This belonged to a dear friend who gave me several pieces of jewelry, both men's and ladies pieces. This was her late husband Daniel's ring. The story about these gifts from her to me is in the post of the gold "tulip link" bracelet posted just before this one. Azalea was one sweet lady who lived well into to her 90's. She never told me her age but from other things she said and based on the time frame these things were going on in history, I could get "close" on the math. And as everyone knows, you NEVER ask a lady her age. The ring kinda has an "art deco" hint to it.
