It really is lovely, and as others have noted, way more precious that whatever monetary value could be assigned to it. <br /><br />Just to add to your comment about The Messiah, it was most interesting to think about Charles Jennens, the librettist whose theological views drove the work. You inspired me (again) to look him up and to find out a bit more about him. Thank you! Also, Bill started me on the idea of listening to it as a tradition. I think it is a lovely one. I will think of you on Christmas Eve and image the sound (and spirit) flowing through your household :)Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-12945278662522313022012-12-13T08:22:59.930-08:002012-12-13T08:22:59.930-08:00Such a precious find!

I am wearing my mother-in-laws rings, which I had appraised and learned that they are indeed VALUABLE. Some stones were lost and I had then replaced by a reputable jeweler. No lockbox for me! I want everyone to see and admire these rings. I encourage you to wear your ring...what are you saving it for?? There's no second act for any of us so enjoy that fabulous, VIBRANT ring!!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-64971201425911958502012-12-13T00:36:37.403-08:002012-12-13T00:36:37.403-08:00A Very good V.

This both confirms the date and the quality of the metal it is made from. Also the maker, which can be very significant to collectors. I imagine you will not want to part with it since it has more sentimental value to you than any monetary value and should you find it is extremely valuable, you can find that more disturbing than not knowing at all. <br />snafuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588812293454033077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-23194290616981033372012-12-12T08:50:55.443-08:002012-12-12T08:50:55.443-08:00I inherited a bracelet from my grandmother.

Interesting! Of course, the ring is only worth money if you sell it. A price can't be put on heirloom pieces that hold wonderful memories!
