1860s RING RESTORATION COMPLETE!

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

I dug this ring a few years ago in an old plantation site here in Louisiana. It was plow mangled and missing all of its stones when dug. I have a friend who is a master jeweler who was able to completely restore it and replace the stones for me for a modest price. I'm absolutely stoked about the results and wanted to share them with you! I went with black onyx and small marcasites since I felt that those would be more historically accurate to what might've been originally in the ring.

Regards,

Buck

Great restoration BuckleBoy, top shelve all the way. Was it sized for the Mrs?
I actually really like coin silver over sterling sometimes as it gives an aged natural greyish patina to the article.

I completely agree about the coin silver! The wife did claim it even though she wasn’t the one who dug it! LOL
