    It may ba silver. I have seen a great number of these type rings, they have become very popular. The stones are probably genuine too, as they are semi precious.

    May not be precious, but I don't think it's junk for some reason It reminds me of some limited edition rings from some artsy designer lol I kinda like it. No information on it anywhere Paul? If those stones are real, they would probably be Peridot, Citrine and I'm not sure on the blue one. It would be up there in price if they are real.

    Lots of bling, but I too don't necessarily think it is not silver. In fact I would suspect the opposite.

    Iwas recommended to one of my town's jewelers where I live. Turned out he was one of the kids my youngest brother hung around with in days gone by. I since have taken many finds to him to check out. A lot of junk, yes. But every now and again, the real McCoy. You just don't know if someone had a custom piece made. Get friendly with a local who may be able help you interpret what you have. You may be pleasantly surprised. He may be surprised when do that happy dance right in front of him. Either way it is still a great find. Keep on keeping on.

    lol I forgot what I meant rofl

    Here, let me try editing it:

    Lots of bling, but I [s]too don't necessarily[/s] think it is [s]not[/s] silver. [s]In fact I would suspect the opposite.[/s]

    That might be a little strong, though. I think it might be silver.

    Sorry; I'm shutting up now lol

    Well, here's my thoughts. I can't tell if it is a man's or woman's ring. If it fits a woman, it may be a mother's birthstone ring. And each stone represents each of her children and the month they were born.

    And as far as it being silver?...............I'm so confused. ...... rofl

    It might be sterling silver...but all the jewelry I have found that did not have any markings/stamps have ended up being fake..some pretty, but fake. What is your detector reading it as?

    Hard to tell from pictures. But looks like junk. Maybe pewter or lead. Please - all detectorists should get an acid test kit as standard equipment.

    VERY COOL !!!! I believe it is from the PeeWee Herman LMC ( limited magnificense collection ) of which only a few were alloted for sale to the general public . ( Just jiving you a bit Paul ) I haven't the foggiest on what it is or isn't . It is safe to say it is at least a great piece of costume jewelry and a neat find . thumbsup01 thumbsup01
