Looking for old Orange Blossom engagement ring by: Genii
I have a brochure that shows an engagement ring by Orange Blossom (by Josten) that I almost got - and wish I had. This was in 1978. It's yellow gold, with the band splitting into two - like a fork in a road - and meeting up at the top where the 1/3 carat diamond "sits" in a black, oxidized "cup". The set was called "Majestic." (The wedding band was two pieces, rounded in the middle, to accommodate the round "cup" of the engagement ring. ) Would anyone know where I could find this diamond ring and buy it?

Orange Blossom engagement ring by: Maggie May
I have an Orange Blossom engagement ring & wedding ring from 1991-1992. It was an epic getting it. It was the Holly setting - filigree, love it. I have the photo in a Seventeen magazine I saved w/ my wedding gown pic, Pricilla of Boston.
The marriage is over, but I still have these things-locked up, once it was almost stolen, but I had hidden it, locked up after my divorce. So, that's my story, I always loved it!! I wouldn't part w/it the stone is high quality too. I wore it daily while married.

Same kind of wedding band by: Anonymous
My wedding band was made by the same company. It has the pi symbol with a circle around it and says orange blossom engraved. It was my husbands great great grandmother's ring. I have no clue how old it is because his great grandmother is 93yrs old and it was her mother's ring.

in re: Traub Orange Blossom ring by: Lorraine
Hi, I am not sure what your ring looks like. I just found this page today, but I too have a Traub Orange Blossom ring. It was my great-grandmother's engagement ring. Very pretty. I know that they were married in 1930, as it is inscribed. That is how I found the ring name and style, was reading the inscription. I hope that this helps you.
My ring has beautiful scrolling and then 3 small diamonds on the side of the main diamond, which is set in a square shape. It is platinum. My grandparents were married in Brooklyn, New York. I do not know if this ring belonged to my grandmother's mother or not, but I think that it may have, which would put it at around 1910.

A little more... by: Staci
I came across something while researching my own Traub Orange Blossom ring. This ad by Traub in LIFE magazine in 1942 looks very similar to yours, so maybe sometime in the early 40s?
Orange Blossom WAS a jewelry line made by the Traub Co. in Detroit from the '30s-'70s, and Jostens (the class ring company) bought them out and destroyed the molds. But there was also a division in Canada. A Canadian company took over the Canadian line when sold. Hard to pinpoint the date of your ring, however, the '30s-40s were mainly filigree, and personally I think your ring looks '60s-70s. Please see www.orangeblossom.ca as the company that bought the line is still in business, they have some older brochures, but i didn't see your ring. Hope it helps! (Oh, and 'fish eye' means there's a 'circle' of light in the middle of the stone (not infinity like today's diamonds) because the bottom point of the diamond was actually cut flat (not pointed) so it looks like a fish's eye.)
