More like a bronze and the stones I think are turquoise.

Now that's a nice thimble. It doesn't look like brass/bronze. It looks like silver. Is that a photographic "problem" or did the cleaning process make it look silver? Any marks on the inside?

As far as thimbles go they don't get much nicer than that!

Second let me say "Awesome clean up job you did!"
And third let me say "The before and after pictures really tell you hard work!"
