Lot 815
An 18ct gold, fracture-filled ruby and diamond dress ring, the large oval mixed cut ruby, estimated weight 15.37cts, claw set above shoulders with shield shaped inset plaques pavé set with round brilliant diamonds to a broad tapered two tier band, size N, of hallmarked 18ct gold, Birmingham 2006 The ruby is quite a light red, edging towards pink with orange hints more dominant than blue; it measures 17.78 x 13.17 x 7.81mm. The crown has various small nibbles and abrasions and a scratch down a facet edge; and some of the fine fractures are surface-rising. There are no notable areas of `windowing`, but numerous fine inclusions, veils and feathers with areas that catch the light like platelets - assumed to be micron sized gaps; small colour flashes can be observed with the right light and angles; there is one distinct hexagon of fine silk, the lines straight, the angles crisp. The ruby fluoresces under UV light - very faintly in SW and strongly red in LW. The setting is solid and sound, just light wear and tear appropriate to age.

Lot 131
Betty Young, a retired health visitor, began this collection in 1971 when Mrs Lyons of Stocksbridge gave her the doll which her mother had in the 1880s. She soon became an enthusiast for the subject and this took her to doll fairs (especially at the National Motor Cycle Museum), to auction sales and wherever a nice specimen could be found. Her dolls were written up, cherished, cleaned (if needed) and nicely presented. The number grew until they took over her spare bedroom! Then, in 2010, the sun began to set upon their, and Betty's, days. Away the dolls went, back into their boxes, drawers and cupboards to remain safe but forgotten until Betty's death earlier this year. She loved her dolls dearly and hoped that after her, they would find happy, careful homes and give to others the pleasure that they had given to her and those attending the sale of the collection would enjoy it as she has always enjoyed such events. A large late Victorian doll with composition head, legs with painted boots, blue fixed eyes, closed mouth, original blonde wig, wearing white cotton knickers and skirts, white dress, lace trim, matching pink/brown coat and hat. She has with her a bag of clothing including a primitive shift dress decorated with coloured scrap paper cutouts, probably what she was wearing when she was bought in 1890. This doll was given to Betty by Mrs Lyons of Stocksbridge, daughter of the original owner in 1971 and was the beginning of her doll collection.
