I love your grandmother's ring. I just got into collecting jewelry, I love the vintage and antique jewelry most. But my problem, I don't want to give it up. I noticed you had several other pieces, that are great.
Have a great day,
Thanks for commenting on this ring. My mom had all this jewelry but I occasionally wear the necklaces. I don't think I will ever give this jewelry up. It would be awesome to keep passing it down. Good luck with your collection!
I adore this ring. I cherish this so loved pieces that families pass on. I love to imagine the face and smiles this ring brought her and now you!
