My MIL gave me this ring a few weeks ago to give to my youngest daughter (her youngest granddaughter). Being that she''s only 3, I will keep it for safekeeping until she''s old enough to wear it/appreciate it or do whatever she wants with it. My FIL (now her ex) gave it to her in the early ''70''s.

I''ve worn it on a couple of occasions for fun but find it too high and old fashioned for everyday wear. But I do think it''s a wonderful piece of jewellery and will continue to "play" with it when the mood hits me!

It''s super, super white and shoots off fire like crazy; it''s wonderful to wear at low lighting restaurants or dinner parties.

I''ve louped it and my untrained eye detects that they are decent cuts (but I''m not an expert

) with a few inclusions in each diamond.

Thought I''d share a few pics for your viewing pleasure (I always find it fun to see other PS''s heirloom pieces).

Thanks Ellen! It''s really crazy how firey they are for such little diamonds! After reading the thread in RT on Cocktail rings I was inspired to share this little (but high!) ring!
But it kills me everytime I wear it and look at its profile!! I wish I could "squish" it down!

It is wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
 
Wow-what a sparkler! Great pictures!

I have to say, at first I was like "Hmm-that doesn''t look *that* high" until I saw the profile shot!

Hahaha-it does look just like a wedding cake! It''s such a cool profile, really!
 
pretty! it''s very sparkley
 
I like that it''s high, and it has such sparkle. how thoughtful of your MIL. It''s such a lovely ring.
 
Wow Cachette, that ring is really sparkly! I see what you mean about it being really high and kind of old fashioned... But it''s still a cool piece! Maybe your daughter will have it made into a pendant or earrings or something!
 
It''s so beautiful!

I don''t think it''s too old fashioned to wear every day. I am sure your daughter will be very happy to receive it one day!
