1st Permission, 1st Ring and it's my first Gold!
First a little background. I spend most of my time TH's in my own yard and my 87 year old neighbor always asks if I found a diamond ring for my wife. Her yard is now infested with grubs and she is going to have it torn up and re-seeded so she gave me the go ahead to "have at it". First thing I pulled out was this earring that seems to be plated as it is tarnished. Next decent thing was the hinge, weighs 13ozs, no clue on age or anything else. Today was the third day I spent there and found this 18K wedding band! The hallmark is a sideways W, research reveals it is made by JR Wood and Son and the exact ring is in a 1923 catalog of theirs. They merged with Lenox in 1970 and changed their name in 1975 to Art-Carved. They are still in business today.
