Date
after 1920
Description
A gold ring with a teardrop-shaped setting. Stone is most likely a garnet, topped by a smaller stone (most likely a diamond). A thin band, located under the shank, was probably added to make the ring smaller. The ring was originally a stick pin, and was transformed by Blaine's, a jewler on Thames Street. Most likely, it was the engagement ring of Mrs. Elizabeth R. Costello.
