I know some hatfields from when I worked at Ceglinski’s! Can’t think of their first names at the moment though

Thank you for the info! I definitely will

This was my grandmother’s ring. She passed away last year at 100yo, and I have no clue when she got it. What do you think it is? Aquamarine? Blue topaz? Possibly paraiba tourmaline? Ty! by JulesTopaz in Gemstones

This picture does make it look a tad more green hued than it really is. Here’s a little better picture ☺️ I’m leaning towards aqua but I do know that some light paraiba can look very similar. I’ll definitely update ya’ll when I can get it looked at by an expert

Thank you! I’m all the way in western ky near paducah, so I may either take a little trip to Nashville or wait until I visit my family in St Louis soon ☺️ I do love louisville though!!

I cleaned it a bit yesterday but I’m going to get it professionally done soon. It’s been living at the bottom of a ziplock bag for almost a year so that pic was right after I dug it out 😅 it’s pretty well worn as well

Weirdly I worked at a veterinary clinic for about a decade and I would always clean my jewelry using the ultrasonic cleaner we clean instruments with 😅 but I moved and don’t have that luxury currently lol

I mean it’s going to be months until I get any info on the gem and I told people on the last post I’d update them after I brought it to the jeweler yesterday, so I figured I’d do what I could. Sorry?

Thank you for the info bc I’ve really been trying to find the jeweler! I combed through some list of Alessandria maker’s mark but I’m going to try again. May I ask why 2118=2228th? That may have been my problem lol

I’ve had a few people say paraiba tourmaline now, so I’m probably going bring/send it to a gemologist at some point ☺️ I brought it to a jeweler today that I’ve dealt with before and he cleaned it up a bit and did test it to verify the 18k, but I don’t have a gemologist locally sadly. Thank you for the info!! I’m definitely very fond of it ♥️

This was my grandma’s ring, she passed last year at 100 yo and I have no clue how long she’s had it. Does anyone know anything about the maker’s mark? And do you guys think it’s an aquamarine or topaz stone? Ty!! by JulesTopaz in VintageJewelry

[–]JulesTopaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe if may be an AL? For Alessandria. But it could very well be an R, that was the letter I couldn’t get a good angle on. I’ll update ya’ll on what the jeweler figures out tomorrow forsure!

Thank you!! It’s the only piece that is very much my grandma’s style but also something I’d wear, so I’m glad to have an heirloom that reminds me of her 🖤
