The thing that makes it so interesting is not just the size of the rock, but the fact that it is hand tooled and, judging by the age (about 100 years), it must be a family heirloom.

No, it's not a family heirloom. I found it in a jeweller's up in London. I know it was made as an engagement ring, but I don't think I'll ever be able to find out any more of its story.
