New pictures added. 18k ring with a tiger-eye stone, with a queen’s crown settin

[Ant]

I found an 18k ring with a queen’s crown setting and with what I think is a tiger-eye stone. The stone is a clear gray/black, with two distinct reflecting lines running horizontally across the middle. I think it might be from the early 60’s late 50’s and it might be of Vietnamese or Philippine in origin.

It was pushed up in a dozer scrape at an old playground. When I get it all cleaned up I’ll post a picture worthy of showing. The 18k gold mark is well worn as is the hallmark. I’ll post a pic of the hallmark too, maybe someone will recognize it.

As always,
HH

Nice find on the ring

Definately a Black Star Sapphire, the lines in the stone are most likely hexagonal growth twinning.


Great find, Congrats
