A Ring with a Story: The Journey Continues!
Category: (Live) - Online & Event

This stunning cocktail ring returns to our auction this year with a tale of generosity and love. Donated initially to our Bow Wow Gala by one of our dedicated supporters, this exquisite piece was won in our live auction in previous years by the lovely Trisha Aljoe.

She has cherished and worn this ring to select events, undoubtedly turning heads. Now, in an incredible act of kindness and support for The Sula Society, Trisha has had the ring appraised and put it back up for auction to help us again. Her generosity knows no bounds!

The Story Behind the Ring: Handcrafted by a skilled jeweler in Hong Kong, this classic ring features a 14K gold band with a unique leopard design. The ring contains an impressive 1.405 carats of diamonds and a striking combination of natural rubies and natural diamonds. The gems were carefully selected and transplanted from various family heirlooms, making this piece a mosaic of memories and craftsmanship.

Appraisal Details:
Gold weight: 12.5 grams total
Diamond Weight: 1.405 carats
Natural Rubies:3 round-cut rubies, 0.15 carats each
5 marquise-cut rubies, 0.20 carats each
Natural Diamonds: 15 round-cut diamonds, 0.05 carats each
7 round-cut diamonds, 0.025 carats each
3 round-cut diamonds, 0.16 carats each

The ring has been appraised in Mexico at $2,809 USD (equivalent to $51K MXN).

VERY IMPORTANT: For insurance purposes in the USA or Canada, it is strongly advised to obtain a new appraisal, as it is very likely to receive a higher valuation in these markets.

Now is your chance to own this one-of-a-kind, sentimental piece while supporting a cause that matters. Place your bid and be a part of this ring’s incredible journey!
