Caroline Ryan Foulke, thence by descent

Specialist note

For many years Mrs. Foulke wore this ring, often turning it into her palm so it would not be visible. Then, Harry Winston offered her a 19.90 carat marquise diamond ring. Her relatives were consulted and suggested that she might not need another marquise-cut diamond ring, however, Mrs. Foulke gave into temptation and purchased the larger marquise to add to her collection.
