More Ring Finds From Years Past

[Clad2Silver]

A few more ring finds from years past. The first one is a ring I found at a site where a high school built in 1898 was located. The original high school was torn down and replaced by a newer one in the 1930's and it is no longer in use. The ring is a silver and amber ring produced in Denmark, circa 1915, by Georg Jensen a well known silversmith. I was able to locate one of his descendants who is a jeweler and was offered $175.00 for it which I accepted. It's the only silver ring I've ever sold. The other rings were all found in sports fields.

Thanks Tommy.....make sure you keep them well hidden. I had a break-in here back in 2009 and fortunately they didn't get any of my valuables.

If I was to add up in my head the total amount in dollars of Georg Jensen pieces I've picked up over the years and sold from thrift stores, pawn shops and antique stores. I know it be close to five grand. These days they're hard to come by on the used market and the prices have softened some, but they have a great number of folks who still covet GJ silver especially the vintage pieces, which that ring was by the early GJ mark I see on it. Might be a mark still used when Georg Jensen was still living.

I'm not sure when Jensen died but this ring is circa 1915.
