Diamond ring today in my back yard!! It's not mine:)

[Chris krasnai]

Found this about 3 inches down in my back yard today! I was crazy excited! Don't know if it's real or not. It's got a lot of weight to it and a lot of diamonds. There are markings on the inside of the ring but I can't make them out. I've attached the pic and hope it works.

So cool. Looks like a silver 925 marking on the inside. Well done!!

 

[Chris krasnai]

Thank you! Me too! I'll keep you posted

Nice find many times people mounted diamonds in a silver setting iit was less expensive however little diamonds have very little values . Get it checked let us know. Cool find and welcome to tnet and the addiction. There is no cure and it just gets worse

 

[jewelerguy]

it says '925' (silver) and 'cz' (glass). cool find though!

Oh yes I forgot IT IS YOURS

Thanks everybody! I truly am addicted to detecting. Even if I only find junk, which there is a lot of, but we still save it all in our little treasure box
Here are the other markings I can't make out. Another question, this had to be in the ground for at least 16 years, that's how long we've lived in this house. Wouldn't the silver have tarnished being in the ground that long?

Looks like a makers mark, silver coming out of most soils will be clean, sometimes it may stain from being next to something like iron.

Nice save for sure..!!

Silver usually comes out looking BEAUTIFUL! Grats on the silver ring, awesome find!

it says 'THAI' (made in Thailand) and most times silver comes out looking as good as the day it was dropped unless it has been oxidized by heavy use of fertilizers, or if it was somehow involved in a fire

Congrats! Sliver also seems to turn a charcoal color when in a damp environment too I've noticed.

Looks 925 and CZ cuts. Very nice ring though. My wife would have taken it right after I took a picture of it.

 

[Chris krasnai]

Thank you! I just took it to the jeweler and stones are cz and it is silver, yay keep on diggin👍😁

NEVER show those finds to your wife! Not if you plan to sell. Nice find and good luck.
