Thread: 2 vintage silver rings

    2 vintage silver rings

    A couple cool rings I found during my hunts over the last week. One was in an old home yard and the other in a park. The last one is 11.6 grams and bigger than the first 3 silver rings I found this year combined.

    Too bad the first one is smashed to oblivion.

    I used to sell those......40yrs ago.
    Actually the chip inlay ring isn't necessarily that old. That sort didn't really sell well 'til the 80's and later.

    Still nice finds!

    Your large ring weighs more than the 3 little ones, it must be a honker of a ring.....

    The first one is turquoise and I am unsure of the light pink stone. 2nd one I'm told It's crushed turquoise. I don't know much about gems, have to look into them more.

    Stones are funny things, you never know what you are really getting The real pink stones as well as the blue ones may just be dyed howlite. The other stones that are in the pink mix can be a lot of things but rhodonite comes to mind. But They the blue ones could be real turquoise too. Depends on the cost of the ring and how honestly it was marketed. Most jewelers would tell fairly quickly.
