A Ring and a Story
Filed in archive Jewelry History by tammy on February 9, 2006
. Here's the story of a many who found an old ring in a jewelry box that had been out of site for 77 years. Amazingly enough, Tom Austin was able to track down the original owner of the ring; however, it is still a mystery as to how the ring ended up in the jewelry box:"Somehow a gold chain, an earring or a Timex seldom come with a story, but it's hard to find a ring that doesn't have a story -- a little story maybe, but almost always a story.
Tom Austin was counting on that. The potential of a good story was the thing that caught the attention of the 96-year-old resident of The Hermitage on Westwood Avenue when his nephew's wife called from Louisiana a few months back to ask his help in solving a mystery involving a ring -- a ring with origins in Richmond, as it turned out."
