Onyx and Diamond Ring (signed Pend. 14K) Item
VR8180 Once upon a time, a young woman worked very hard
in a quaint little shop in order to lavish a bit of

ring which is approximately 85 to 90 years old, and has been

1940s cameo is a stirring tribute that enlightens and extols
the beauty attributed to their guidance. The visually
intoxicating Terpsichore, Muse of Dancing is clothed in
gossamer that flows around her body as she whirls about
playing her tambourine. Rare cocoa and ivory colored conch
shell provides intrigue and elegance framed beautifully
within a dainty 14K gold braided girdle with long arcing
lines sweeping out from the sides. Gold orbs accent the
sides and top with tiny curves. This 2 and 1/16" tall by 1
and 5/8" wide is a lavish statement of luxury at it's
finest. If you're in need of inspirational elegance, you
needn't look any further. You've finally found your Muse.
Excellent condition. Price $1200.00
