You can imagine my surprise when I saw this ring on ebay, I knew straight away who the maker was. I had to watched it for nine days, with in trepidation. The final few seconds I was shaking, I did pay more than I wanted to do, but eh, he's one of of my favourite makers.
As you can see it is a massive ring. The band and the shank is made of 9ct Gold as is the outer edge on which the silver design leaves and Amethyst are Set. I think it would probably have been made around the 1930s.
The Amethyst is oval and measures 13mm by 11 mm. The silver leaves are wonderful, I've looked through a lots of Bernards rings but not seen one like this.
When I first saw the ring and looked at the hallmarks 9ct & Silver, then to see the maker Mark B.I, I couldn't believe it, it can be very frustrating when you have jewellery that isn't marked.
Many thanks for looking
Lovely ring, Peasejean, love that amethyst. :)
Very beautiful cut amethyst! It looks magical!
Good shot Jean, plus it is identified by BI :-))

Yes, it's a thrill, I know and many others know also, what the last 10 seconds look like(and feel), not very long time ago, it's happen to me again with my last Vase, the last fews second, you feel the heart beats in your neck, kaboom Kaboom.
Congrats again.

just lovely....................
I think it was well worth the anxiety and money Jean. It is beautiful.
Hi Alan, I remember when I lived in Mexico my friend and I used to go and play Bingo (sad lol) we used to share the winning whoever won. I have the same feeling when I'm waiting for the end of a auction, as I did when I or my friend needed the last number, that Adrenaline rush, and yes the thumping of the heart. Thanks for passing by.
