The ring was custom designed by Mary Ann Scherr for the consignor's mother honoring her children and their birth order; Ms. Scherr's design drawing for the ring and her notes accompany the lot. A gifted designer, Mary Ann Scherr's work can be found in the permanent collections of major museums, including the Vatican Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Museum of Art, and many others of note.
