2 silver rings today.

[Irishgoldhound]

Snagged 2 silvers from the wet sand at the beach today. One looks to be quite old to me. The beach I was hunting has been a popular place since the early 1920's. I regularly still find old silver coins so this ring could be from the early 1900's. What do you think guys?? Old ring? Looks like an opal stone.

What are they marked, 925 or sterling.. the black one looks old...

 

[Irishgoldhound]

Both marked 925.

 

[OBN]

Just a wild guess and I could be wrong but the older one I would date to the late 60's to mid 70's..It looks much older but being marked 925, I have yet to find anything older then that time period marked 925. Seems most I find marked sterling date from the 50's down...925 from the 60's up....Casper or someone else maybe able to date it better for you. Cleaned I bet it is beautiful....

 

[Irishgoldhound]

Yeah that sounds about right. Thanks OBN. It should shine up nice.

A couple unique silvers, congrats!
I'd be interested as well to see that one all cleaned up.

Might not be that old from the posts I've read but it does have a nice Victorian look to it. Would like to see it cleaned up and shiny.

Congrats on pulling those 2 silver rings. I am certain they were icing on the cake to a fun hunt.

 

[Irishgoldhound]

Thanks guys. I'll clean her up today and show pics later.

Irish: Did you snag those beauties with your new RTG scoop?

 

[Irishgoldhound]

Billinoregon: No I have 2 other stainless steel scoops I use. Saving the RTG for travel only, or if I have a break down with the other 2.

That sounds about right to me also. I've found modern silver with "sterling" stamped into it, but, nothing old with .925 in it.

 

[Irishgoldhound]

Cudamark: yeah, looks to be late 50's early 60's style. Hoping Casper chimes in.

Very nice finds! congrats.... any ring is a great find.

I had a jeweler tell me if a customer brings in unmarked jewelery for testing he offers to stamp it for future id.....possible I guess...sure looks victorian in design.

 

[Terry Soloman]

Congratulations! Beautiful find no matter when it was crafted. The other ring is cool as well!

 

[Fletch88]
