Had a gold ring made from gold finds...

[Bavaria Mike]

I had a ring made for my wife’s birthday from 14K (585) gold rings I have found. The ring matches the earrings I had made for Valentine’s day, all with diamonds I had to buy extra. I designed it using several other pre made rings worth $800-1200 but my ring is a little thicker and heavier in gold. The ring has a .03KT diamond and two small blue sapphires, too bad I haven’t found any diamond rings. How would you like to find this, LOL? It’s a nice way to use your gold wedding ring finds that can’t be returned.

Another view of the ring. On the detecting side, my last 6-7 hours of detecting haven’t been great with just a few coins, an intact ox harness and a woman’s Swiss made cheapo wristwatch. Hope to get out today.

The 585 (14K) stamp in the middle, a 3 left for .03Kt diamond and right is the Goldsmith’s hallmark. HH, Mike

Nice ring Mike. Having jewelry made from what can't be returned is better than selling it off for dollars just so you can waste it on gasoline.

I had a ring made from wedding bands I took into a jeweler and they made a ring that weighed less than the total weight of what I brought in for material and even wanted me to pay extra for the gold. When all was said, they refunded me money in front of a bunch of other customers.

Don't wear any rings when you detect.

Take care,
Sandman

Hi, Way to go. Bet your wife was happy. All the jewelry I wear was made from gold and silver finds too. My Dad and I had gotten into jewelry casting ourselves because of the HIGH prices jewelers charge. The avatar of the belt buckle I wear was designed and made by me out of Sterling silver.

Very well done -- that's why the wife continues to let you detect -- on another note an honest jewler is a hard thing to find -- my wife had a period where she went ring crazy --had a jewler set a .33 ct diamond and two .1 ct rubies into another setting -- they took her natural rubies and used created rubies -- big mistake because the wife knows her stone. Know your jewlery before you take it in!! -- take pics etc..

I have found a few gold rings inland but mostly hunt lake beds in the fall and the occasional sandy beach. I have a few swim lakes that are drained for winter, makes for an awesome hunt detecting where 5' of water was although, I prefer relic hunting, hard to pass these finds up, LOL! I paid around $180.00 to have the ring made but its worth around $600.00, that figure comes from some of the rings I used as examples but they had bigger diamonds. My wife's birthday is in two weeks so she hasn't seen the ring, don't tell, LOL! HH, Mike
