I can't remember having seen this ring before. Can anyone help me out with when it might have been presented, price, coordinating pieces? I doesn't really look too much like a JR design to me. It's Green Chalcedony with a Princess cut DMQ on each side. TIA!

Hi, Lola! I have no recollection of this ring. I do not believe it is a JRQ, or even a JR sterling ring, in its design.

Very pretty. Would love to know more about this one.

It doesn't strike me as Ripka either.

Re: Anyone Remember This Ring?

I don't know when this ring was presented, but it must have been more than 10 years ago before I started collecting JR. I have seen this same ring on ebay in black onyx. I believe these rings came w/ 2 guard rings to be worn on either side of this ring. The guard rings have tiny DMQ stones & are straight across w/ a semi-round dip in the middle to fit around the stone part of this ring. Those guard rinfs often appear on ebay - sometimes by themselves & sometimes w/ the middle gemstone ring such as this one. Hope that helps you.

I think this ring came with a set of ring guards similar to these:

AHA! Thanks y'all! newjerseygirl, yes, that's IT! Too funny, because I've had the Black Onyx set on an eBay saved search for literally years! Well, darn it, now I've got the ring but not the guards! It is stamped Judith Ripka 925 inside the band, so I was fairly sure it was genuine, and "CZ" made it JRQ. Oh well, it's pretty without the guards and I got it at a great price.

Thanks again NJG!

I stand corrected. It is part of a whole. Good catch.
