The silver ring, as promised....

[Roland58]

Okay, here is my first ring found with my first detector. Next week will by my two month anniversary of MD'ing........I'm addicted!

The "925" stamp and the unknown symbol:

Front view. This ring is kinda like people, it looks better when not so close!:

Side view, pattern is the same on both sides:

I didn't take pics of the 1944 wheatie (older than me) or the 1963 Rosie, they all look the same. The white specks on the stone don't show to the naked eye, may be digital artifacts or minute chips that the flash picked up? Now, the question is how did I get the front of the ring to stand up for the pics?

Thanks to all for the kind words. And, GGTDM, where do you see evidence of a paper clip?

 

[augusthog]

Use a paper clip to make the ring stand up

Use a paper clip to make the ring stand up

It is standing up, not vertical, but, the front is elevated.

Question: Can one tell if a stone is genuine somehow, or, is this something only a jeweler can do?
