Help With Colonial Ring

[Valley Ranger]

Hey folks, I dug this ring earlier this spring at a site that dates to the 1700's. The site also had quite a bit of activity during the 2nd half of the 1800's. The ring still has some gold gilt left on it, though not much. It looks like cheap costume jewelry to me, but I don't know. Any ideas on age and the type of stone?

Looks to be vintage costume to me , I'd guess late 19th / early 20th century - the stone , i believe is glass .

Nice find Richard. As was stated, looks early 1900s to me but Bill D. might know for sure. HH, Q.

I agree - probably turn-of-the-century or thereabouts. Definitely not colonial but still a nice find.

Thanks everybody for the input. It was a heart-stopper when I first saw it! Got it on video, but haven't had much time lately to put a video together. Soon . . .
