I thought I should document that I found the box that holds my mother’s engagement ring. I had forgotten all about it because I had hidden it away for safekeeping, then I happened upon it. When I tried, the ring fit so it will stay with me now.
I checked online and I could buy a similar vintage Birks jewelers bell-shaped silver box for $295CDN. Wowzers! My father always had expensive tastes (on a beer budget mind you). They married in 1952 in Goose Bay Labrador (Canadian Air Force Base). I think my dad was stationed in Bagotville before going to Goose bay so he might have purchased the ring in Montreal where Birks Jewellers began. Maybe they even had a store in Quebec City but I don’t know.
I used my Blackwing pencil, Violet Blue Prismacolour and Gold for colour.
