JEWELRY:

Palladium and Diamond Ring Size 6 1/4 – SOLD

Jewelry always come with a back story but none like the history behind the Russian cut diamond in this ring.  During the Holocaust, a prominent merchant in Vienna name Julius was sent to the concentration camps just a week before his twin daughters Rose and Amy were sent to London on the last safe Kindertransport train, saving their lives.  Julius was then recognized in the camps by a guard who knew him from Vienna and helped his escape where he skied through the Alps to safety.  Julius spent the duration of the war hidden by a Catholic cabinet maker in Belgium and was reunited with his children 10 years later.  He suffered tremendously throughout the war that when his daughter Amy passed away when he was in his 80’s, her twin Rose could not bear to tell her father she died.  Rose then spent the next 10 years of her life acting as both of the twin daughters for her father.  She called or wrote him twice on birthdays and Holidays, playing the part of both sisters.  Julius never knew of Rose’s selfless trick and died thinking both of his daughters were alive and well.  At the end of Julius’ life, he gave Rose two gorgeous Russian cut diamonds, one for her and one for her sister Amy.  Today, we have one of these diamonds to offer that has been modernly set in a simple palladium band with a open sided bezel that highlights the beauty of this stone that has been passed down for generations.   Diamond is a 1.12 carat round brilliant cut stone with a I1 clarity and H/I color grade.  Size 6.25.  Sold with current appraisal valuing ring at $6,725.  Priced at $3,800.
