Sterling Silver Gold Plate Red & Clear CZ Ballerina Ring
 
Beautiful....Beautiful...Beautiful.  This is a high end costume piece with a deep ruby red CZ stone to the center.  This ring looks amazing, especially when out in the sunlight.  It is well made and honestly looks like a real ruby and diamond ballerina ring.  Ballerina rings hit the scene in the 1950's and have made a comeback in the 2000's.  Such designer as Tiffany & Co.,  Boucheron and Oscar Heyman Brothers took to this new style like hot sauce on a Texas Taco.  The idea was to have a fluttering halo of diamonds (like to tutu of a ballerina) showcase a fine quality center gemstone.  Many retail market designer's found themselves flooded with demands for a more affordable product that the middle class could afford.  This ring looks spectacular and would make a great gift to one's self, a wife or young lady who loves jewelry, but may not be quite ready for real diamonds or rubies just yet.  This ring will need polishing every so often to maintain that high quality gold appearance.  A simple polishing cloth or liquid dip should work just find.  Do not leave in an electric ionic cleaner for more than 15 seconds and silver can burn with the current produced.
