i didnt get a box with it
it was just photographed in it
hi im not in uk im in ireland but same time zone , and did pics before i went to work , so i had to be quick!
so is it art deco or not, or just vintage, was it a dress ring or engagment ring ?
thanks for your help
I would say its from around the early 50's. And it was most likely a cocktail ring.
oh thanks, are the square cut stones rubys is there a way to test them, i know there are diamond testers for sale , are ther the same for other stones? sorry new to this sorry if its a dumb question thanks :-)
thats great news! many thanks everyone for all your help,i just love this site im in heaven admiring all these fantastic items ,i collect costume weiss , brooches,and coro corocraft and listner, etc, must take some photos, and put them up, many thanks virgo, i make dichroic jewellery myself , but i love vintage /costume jewellery , i think theres something special when you hold a piece and think of what history it could tell ,
no problem , i love americans..... i married one, my husband is american , my english grandmother had some nice jewellery so i have always loved nice things, its just so nice to get more information about rings to be able to say to my daughters what it is and when it dates from thanks again
I agree with Kevin, if the diamonds tested real, the rubies are more than likely real also.
It is a beautiful coctail ring!!
