Very cool! Do you know if it's an old mine cut or Old European cut? From picture looks like old mine?

It’s one of those cuts, but I don’t know the difference between them, so your guess is probably right.

I groomed all 3 of my cocker spaniels on Monday. Today I went through the box and bag of grooming tools, cleaned them all, boxed up the ones I do not use to send to a cocker rescue group. Will drop off at the post office tomorrow. Win-win, everything neatly fits in one easy to access box now.

We are overhauling the big garden bed on the south side of our house. I dug up and gave away 5 big pots of Siberian irises.

It is nice you found a home for your Siberian iris and did not compost them.

Growing up, my family had several Cocker Spaniels. They are great dogs!!

I am obsessed with old jewelry settings--I love looking at them-- it is very exciting to reset an old family stone in something new. I worked with this jeweler to reset a family stone and it turned out really beautiful.

(This is not that one, this is one they have that looks kind of like Grandmother's ring.)

They are easy to work with and very nice and fast, too.

That’s a beautiful ring Tybee!!

Here is a fuzzy pic of the ring DH got from his father. It is gaudy to me as I don't often see ordinary men wearing diamonds but it was from the 80s I think.

To be fair, there are some in the compost bin, but I'm ready and willing to pull them out if I get sufficient demand from my Facebook offer!

You could turn it into 3 rings for your daughter and granddaughters:

Elsie Engraved Ring - Brilliant Earth

You can take the size of the stone down on this visualizer to 1/2 ct or whatever they are, it looks different with the smaller stones. If you measure it in mm, you will have a better way to tell how many cts they are

or one three stone for you

or a pair of earrings, etc.
