My only decent find for the day.A gold colored ring stamped E .925 China.

If it's stamped .925 why is it gold in color?

Yep I've found one too, .925 was gold color had 6 tiny diamonds in it. Your stone may still be a sapphire.
Nice find tho.

Thanks!!

There's 3 small diamonds on each side of band and 20 around the sapphire if they are indeed diamonds and the stone is a sapphire.
My best ring find to date no matter what they are.
