This listing is for the exact ring in the photos. From its owner’s estate in nearby Shelby County, Memphis Area, comes this elegant Oval set of earrings and matching ring. Its shank bears the LGL mark of Leer Gem Ltd., a New York Jewelry firm from the 1970s. Mounting construction is 10 Karat Yellow Gold  with white gold tips to the two side diamonds. Center piece of the ring is a 6mm by 8mm Opal, that gauges 1 Carat. Earrings are 4mm by 7.5mm Opals each, and gauge 1/2 Carat size apiece. Diamonds are both .01 Carat on the ring only. Total Gem Weight, then, is 2 carats. Ring size is the original 7 with good shank thickness and does not appear to have ever been sized. Gross weight is 3 grams. We estimate this set was manufactured in the 1980s. Since jewelry stores normally price their 10 Karat mountings in the $100 to $120 per gram  vicinity, and opals in $100 to $200 per carat range, this ring would command a regular price between $489 and $689. We are pawnbrokers licensed by the State of Tennessee and by the United States Treasury Dept. since 1968. We do not deal in any new jewelry.
