Wish I could say I found this ring, but I did not. Mother called me today to come over a look at a ring my uncle just found while repairing his sewer line. He was replacing his clay sewer line and while busting it up he saw a glint of gold. He picked it up and what he saw made his heart skip a beat or two. What he found was a Mason Ring that weighed 24.7 grams. :o It has 11 diamonds and 2 blue sapphires that are the arrow feathers and point. Just thought it would be a great post. Thank for looking. camb1

Nice ring.

Hiram would be pleased it has been recovered.

When the time comes to sell, spend the money wisely.

You can bet the stones are real then, :o maybe 2 carats of diamond around $400.00 :icon_scratch: a Carat plus Maybe another $200.00 in gold so $1,000 ring at very least. :dontknow: This is a guess let me know if it is close when you get it appraised. :laughing7: :notworthy:

Keep @ It and HH!! ;D :D

It was not to hard of a search, I used to run around with the daughter in High School. They were great people. I do believe her dad was a 33rd Mason at that time.
