Cool kids ring, anyone know if these are silver?

I have started hunting a really good new spot. It has been producing a fair amount of wheaties and silver from the 1920's - 1950's. I dug this ring, which basically rang in like a dime on the DFX. When I recovered it, it was a flat as a dime as well. I took some time, but I managed to get it round again, and now seems to look more like a cat. Too bad some of the stones are missing.

Any recall rings like this? I would guess it's from the 1950's? Are they silver or aluminium? Any info would be much appriciated!

That is a neat looking ring! It really does kinda look like a cat...

Weird looking!

Yeah, that's an odd one...

And if it's aluminum, it would weight practically nothing, so it's kinda easy to tell if it's aluminum or not.

I'm stumped on that one.....could it be handmade??

Looks like an owl to me.... Nice finds! I agree that you should be able to tell by the weight if it's aluminum. Since you was able to straighten it out without breakage, could very well be silver.....

Aluminum. I remember getting these rings out of gumball machines in the 70's.
