Hi Everyone! This is a relist that i had Listia take down cause some negative comments, and some non-believers. So i had Listia take it down and said i would relist when i got a appraisel. . I'll be honest. . it's kinda hard to relist this once i got a real inside scoop on it. . . The ring is Amazing, The stone is 'White Sapphire' size 61/2ish, very, very good condition due to the age. The 2 side stones are missing, but this Band alone is worth BANK, Just to say if this wasn't a Ostby & Barton (BUT IT IS)and as the Jeweler stated: The band like this of that era with ANYONES hallmark is worth $650.00-$800.00. But this ring, being a "Ostby & Barton" with the stamp markings. . The jeweler couldn't put a figure on it. The ring is Amazing, And Very Expensive, The History Behind this ring is where the value comes in.
Ostby & Barton Jewelry is Highly Collectible, And Very Expensive if you can find. Not many pieces of this amazing jewelry left. YOU WONT EVER FIND ANOTHERONE ON LISTIA GUARANTEED! Someone will be receiving a MIRICLE BLESSING. This Could be a Family Airlune. . Pass it on in the family forever. . . God Bless The Winner. . . . Any uestions fell free to ask. . . ty. . (i said i would relist and here it is. . enjoy!

Ostby and Barton is one of the most well known vintage jewelry design companies, emerging during the Art Nouveau period and lasting through to the Art Deco period of the 1930s. The company was actually founded by Engelhart Ostby, and survived within the family until about 1950. The company became very famous for their line of gold rings.
Ostby and Barton genuine pieces are stamped with the letters OB. It is believed that most pieces were signed
While research does indicate that the designs of this company were of the highest quality, the historical element seems to add a considerable worth to collectors items such as vintage rings and other vintage jewelry
Good luck i'll be back! :)
Seriously, i have quite a few marvelous pieces of jewelry, I really dont have anything that hold me to this ring, im not cought up on the value of the ring, or i would just sell it. . Im sure there isn't alot of filthy rich people on this site, and someone would really appreciate having something like this to hold on to, just to have period.. . In order to get this ring its gonna take some hustlin listing some auctions. . alot of credits can be built in 9 days. . . .
Very! Very! NICE!. :) Freestufforyou. :)
