The first one is marked Solid Gold, the silver one was found 32yrs ago. It the hall marks on the outside of the band-till the jeweler did a repair and filled them.

Nice rings looks like some stones are missing from the first one

I think they dropped out from wear.

I can add one more, but just barely-

This one is a ca. 1890-1910 10K rose gold baby ring. The chasing is done by hand.

Nice...a childs ring like the one I started the thread with

It is a difficult club but ....
- 18/19 century.... (appeared without the stone , in an area filled with ceramics of the Century 18/19)
- 7 / 8 century .. (the stone by their origin, cut and size is typical of this century and acacia branches strong and afflicting motives are clearly Visigoths)
- Roman bronze ...... ... but this year finds it a gold.
-The other by the style of carving belong to the 19th century , early 20.

Hello Colin,
This is my best ring (almost certainly ever). It's a Roman silver ring, with the inscription DEO.TOT, as it stands the only complete example known .

I found this silver baby ring (the entire ring fits on the tip of my index finger) last year at a turn of the century carnival site, now its just a park with ball fields down like 7-8 inches deep. I don't know if it quite 100 years old but its the oldest ring I have ever found.

The stone is missing though, I looked for it but sadly I didn't find it. Also it was my first 830 ring.

The pix are from the day I found it, the quarter was from the woods and the wheaties were from the same area as the ring but the wheats were like 3-4 inches deep.

Its marked 830 in two places on the inside of the band and the 2 makers marks on the outside of the band.

I looked 830 silver up and this is what I found:

"Swedish triple crown stamp, "S" (in hexagon indicating 830 silver or higher)"

"Most European countries up until 1920s used 830s. Scandinavian countries used 830s silver like Denmark moved to using 925 silver in 1927 however even though a higher grade of silver was used by most jewellers in Scandinavia, they stuck to stamping there jewellery 830s as they did not have to pay a tariff to the assaying office for the change over to 925. So most Jewellery made by fine houses in Scandinavia will in fact be marked 830s but will have a standard silver of 925"

Yes...I think you made the club that's a nice ring which would have been better if the stone was there, wonder what stone was in there when it was made

OK, guess Dads ring now qualifies (I found a no. of Roman Bronzes Rings but all small pieces)
1st century AD Roman bronze ring with a carnelian gemstone incised with a Roman God

Gave it to the Farmers Wife, as it was her favourite find from their land.

Very nice had several Bronze rings over the years, usually broken or the intaglio was missing
