Setting: 14K White Gold
Main Gemstone: Genuine Ruby
Size: US 7
This 14 karat white gold ring with approximately 1.00 carat total weight of round, faceted genuine rubies that are prong-set in a navette-shaped cluster. The ring is US size 7 and can be sized. It is from the estate of a local woman who is downsizing and told the story of when she bought this ring for herself in the late 1970's (she thinks that is the correct time frame) in Nashville, TN. She said she fell in love with it because it reminded her of the Diamond Card soldier in "Alice in Wonderland)! She stated that she outgrew the ring decades ago, and it sat in a jewelry box almost forgotten and now she hopes another young lady will soon have it and love it just as much.
