My Final Gift From My Dad...

was my great great grandmothers ring. It is an antique 1.5 carat European style, cathedral mount, platinum ring with three emeralds on each side - the 'old fashioned' jewelry that is back in style now. I finally got it back from the jeweler this evening. We had to have $550 worth of work put into it - new platinum around the band because it was getting thin, sizing, appraisal - but it was worth every cent. And to my surprise, the diamond is very high quality. I thought that maybe since it was so large it wouldn't be. Actually, to be honest....the first time I saw the ring, I thought it might be fake!
