Imagine 3 circles, each inside the other....her father's ring was the outisde ring (wider band), setting inside that was her mother's ring, and inside that (smallest gold band...nice size diamond...LOL) was her engagement ring with the diamond and its setting bent so that it faced you rather than being on the surface of the band.
I'm not doing it justice I know but it was absolutely beautiful and such a tribute to her parents who were both deceased. There is no telling the amount of gold nor the actual age of her parent's rings. I do know that she's in her 60's.
The second most unusual ring I've ever seen was on a retired teacher who substituted at our school. She had her deceased husband's cuff links made into rings for their daughter and herself....absolutely gorgeous and if I'm not mistaken, the cufflinks were heirlooms handed down through the family for years.
Your idea for a ring sounds very pretty, too! I like one-of-a-kind jewelry especially with a sentimental story to go along with it. |
You did an excellent job describing the rings and the necklace. They sound stunning. It's ashame you don't have pics to post.
