Antique 18kt Gold and Rose-cut Diamond Ring, set with three rose-cut diamonds, and rose-cut diamond accents, scrolling gallery, size 7, (one stone missing). From the estate of British figure skater Magdalena Cecilia Colledge (November 28, 1920-April 12, 2008). She was the youngest athlete to compete in the Winter Olympics, going on to become a World Champion in 1937, and silver medalist in the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Her championships include the European women's from 1937-1939, and was six times the British national women's champion. Becoming a professional skater in the 1940s, she relocated to the United States and coached at the Skating Club of Boston. She created the camel and layback spins and the one-foot axel jump. Rose-cut RIng Diamonds face up as if they were about a 1.25s. round, and 0.65 cts. ovals on each side -- their true weight is about 1/3 of that , so probably a little shy of 1.00 cts. t.w.
