Need Help Identifying Old Ripka Pieces

I was cleaning out my jewelry box. When I came across two old Ripka pieces. That I need some help identifying. No DQ. The ring is set with a oval lavender jade stone in a rope isetting with four raised bumps on each side of the setting. The second is a country club bracelet. It is a heavy curb link bracelet with a heart tag.

I think the bracelet must be about 14 years old. I don't know how old the ring is. I am interesting in item numbers and if anyone knows what these items sold for originally.

Fnally before I start really cleaning the ring, I need to know if it had any oxidation as a part of the design. I don't want to clean it to a bright bright finish if it was oxidized as part of the design.

I own a lot of ripka, most of it purchased in the last five years. I just don't remember much about these pieces.

If anybody has a website with photos of early QVC Ripka please let me know. The ring only escaped a trip to goodwill because I noticed her name on the inside of the ring.
