    Update#2.. It's not gold......Crazy! Diamonds In The Rough.

    I decided to get the ring repaired for my wife and upon fixing it the jeweler finds out it is not even gold. It's PLATINUM! Just over 2 carats total diamond weight.





    Repaired on on my wife's finger.


    Happy Dance!

    I count 13 stones, not 12. Hmmmmmm, I think that must mean good luck Super find. Looks similar to one that was passed down from my great grandmother, only your stones look larger..... My granddaughter says she doesn't need a metal detector, she finds good stuff with her eyes. (after she found a plastic bracelet next to the sidewalk) Looks like you did a pretty good job of doing that yourself. HH Ralph

    Re: Crazy! Diamonds In The Rough.

    That's a nice find!

    Looks like it has some age to it, I would spend a few bucks and get it restored, should be well worth it, especially considering how much you have into it now

    Congrats Stitchlips

    That is one heck of an eyeball find! WOW!!

    I truly think that you being a metal detector, your training gives your eyes the ability to notice objects on the ground that others will merely glance over. I know that since I have started metal detecting my eyeball finds have increased dramatically.

    Great find!

    That is a really beautiful ring - even smashed as it is. Those look to be European cut diamonds given how they are set. I really love that style - looks very vintage.

    Good eye, I was told that they were European cut by the jeweler!
