What’s in the box?!

ring box

Could it be a genuine 1920s Art Deco diamond and platinum engagement ring?

Diamond and platinum engagement ring in its ring box

I think it might be!!

For those interested: it’s 0.42 carats. Personally, I think the 0.4 of that is the diamond in the middle and 0.02 is the 22 grain diamonds surrounding it (12 on the top level and five on each side). They’re seriously tiny and I keep thinking I’ve lost one all the time!

I don’t know anything about the history of the ring except that it’s from the 1920s and it’s possible it could’ve originally come from America.

The proposal happened early evening 11 April which was our last full day in Paris while we were taking a walk in the Luxembourg Gardens.

And that was the highlight of my trip 🙂

    That boy is a keeper with a capital “K.”
