An Interesting History

In our Jewellery, Watches and Coins auction on the15th June 2011, We are pleased to present for sale an outstanding diamond two stone ring. With stones totalling approximately 2.0 carats set in platinum, this ring is a highly desirable piece of fine jewellery. Adding to this value is the ring’s interesting history or provenance as auction houses refer to it.

 

The ring was given by the Hon. Lord Birnam to his wife-to-be as her engagement ring. Lord Birnam was the solicitor advocate of Scotland who sat in the House of Lords. Lord Birnam was educated at Hamilton Academy, The High School of Glasgow and the University of Glasgow. His legal career started when he was called to the Scots Bar in 1910. Lord Birnam became a well respected and revered figure both in Scots and English law in the twentieth century.

The ring was worn with a platinum wedding band, also offered for sale in our auction of the 15th June 2011.
