Orange Blossom Ring by Traub

I have an old Orange Blossom ring by Traub Manufacturing Co. It is beautiful and very unique. I can not identify the time frame on it.

I have seen many rings by them but nothing that has even come close to mine. There are markings inside the ring that has Orange Blossom, a circle with TT in it, and it is marked 14k 18k.

I took it to a jewelry shop to have it cleaned and they told me that the diamond was at least a half a carat, it was an old mine cut diamond, and it had no fish eye. (I am not sure what that might mean.)

They also told me that the way the diamond sits in the blossom setting that it looks like the ring was made around the diamond because it had a perfect fit.

Could anyone help me identify the name of the ring and around what year it is from? Or anything else about it would be nice.

Thanks,
Kathy
