Pearls: A Natural History
Price: $39.95
I paid $150.00 for the ring and it is pretty, I’m just not sure if it was worth it or if I am getting the shaft.
The ring has a square setting that is surrounded in VERY fine and ornate filigree and has a marking “LAIS” on the inside of the band, there are no other stones other than the white pearl, also there seems to be someones personal engraving on the band that I cannot make out (very worn, some of the filigree is also very worn down).
