    I will give some other sites a try, though I think at this point that having someone from an auction house dealing in antiques take a look at the ring itself may perhaps be the way to go.
    It would be nice to at least know what kind of stone it is??

    Yeah, I would like to know that too. I was hoping that the close-up photo of the stone I submitted would be of help, but there were no comments about the stone at all.

    I don't buy it either George I don't think it's a good wild guess. Keep trying Angel

    i'm skeptical too about the time frame Angel well its at the very least looks early 1800's plus i think we can carry this topic a few more pages atleast . lol lol lol

    Yeah, another three pages wouldn't hurt. lol

    I think the key may be in identifying the mark inside the band. There must be a record of such markings somewhere.

    I haven't, but it is a good idea. It may allow for a better view of the marking.

    Yeah, I know. lol Actually, though, they were great about it, and they even shared the photos among the different departments they have in an attempt to identify the ring. I did provide them with a photo showing that it was a found ring, as I am sure they see plenty of those from UK detectorists. I haven't contacted Sotheby's, so that might be my next stop. lol

    Re: Thoughts On Found Ring

    Dont know how I ended up this post but that is one incredable ring you have there. My thoughts, and have I seen rings of that nature well yes I have (the history channel) congrats Angel. You deserve it, after you showed me some things on the DFX I have pulled so many great things. It truth very much in your debt, if you reap what you sow you definitly deserve this one...

    Looks like some of the Roman jewelry found in England. I can't imagine how it got here, but if I were you, I'd send some pictures to someone who is an expert in Roman jewelry, perhaps a museum curator.

    Re: Thoughts On Found Ring

    I don't know how old it is or where it came from but my gut feeling is that you have something pretty special in that ring. If i'm wrong about it you still have one very cool ring and it's GOLD. Congrats on the ring I like it alot. |)

    Re: Thoughts On Found Ring

    I've looked at this post several times and the ring is still fascinating to look at. So old and soooooo many questions.
    There has got to be someone out there that knows something about it.

    If I found this one, the curiosity of it's origin would absolutely be eating me alive.

    Hopefully we'll get some answers as time goes on. :->

    I have already tried an online vintage ring resource and two British museums, and even they have drawn a blank. lol For now I'm just glad to have the 22k gold ring.
