This is the story......

My client is the granddaughter of the original owner. Her story is one I have seen often, her heirs are two girls, and the diamond cannot be made into two, so they are selling.

Her grandfather was Denis J. Alison and her grandmother Helen Cutler Alison. Denis owned Alison & Co. stock brokerage in Detroit, and he could see the entrance to a social club from his window. Helen, an Illinois farm girl, moved to Detroit to take advantage of work opportunities. She and her sister would go to the social club after work. Denis noticed Helen from his window, and he pursued her.

Denis and Helen married in 1922 and had four children. My client's mother married the second eldest, and the ring was then passed down to her.

The client has an original box form Black, Starr, and Gorham. A very prestigious jewelry house founded in 1810. While never a design innovator they are known for exquisite diamonds, gemstones, and craftsmanship. The diamond comes with great provenance but not original sales receipt.

LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT MOUNTING FOR THIS DIAMOND? Let me refer you to Bower & Co. Handcrafted Jewelry. Ellen and Mary can hand fabricate a platinum mounting in a vintage, classic, or contemporary style that you can hand down to the next generation.
