Oh la la

So neat to find out what old jewelry really is. My mom used to be an airline stewardess back in the 60’s. One day at work a Cuban family was fleeing Cuba during the Bay Of Pigs invasion. The husband was a jeweler. He was selling pieces to make money for his family and my mom picked out a couple. He told her this particular piece was an Alexandrite. She never had it appraised. I had to have my wedding set done for insurance since everything has gone up so I decided to do my moms ring too. Turns out it is not an Alexandrite, bummer, but a color changing sapphire and it’s 22 carats. I wish I could get better pictures. In person it is a bright aqua in the sunshine and a purple in indoor lighting. It’s pretty cool.
