Unusual and lovely. What delightful gifts!
Thank you so much for commenting.
You know, Molly, how I have a soft spot for these lions head pieces of jewelry too. Barb left me 2 bracelets and a ring. Both I wear all the time and just love. Yours are AWESOME! hugz,
Carolyn Sunday
Thanks Carolyn, would love to see yours! Have never seen the ring but wanted to buy a pair of earrings one time but could not fall off my wallet for $3500.
I will try to photograph and post them here tonight!
I would LOVE earrings, but $3500?!?! wow, they must have been spectacular.
Hi, could you do me a favor ? scroll through my listings and see if the one I listed is like yours. Do you know a value on them ? Thanks
They were just the lions head Carolyn and the owner was trying to convince me that they were solid 14kt gold with rubies and diamonds. I could not convince him that they were clearly marked GF.
THANK YOU.
My pleasure.
I think these are wonderful and unusual rings. What lovely gifts!
Thank you Wolcott1 but they are bracelet and not rings from the Victorian period.
