We hunt together, we post together, we share everything. Two jewelers told me, no dice, not even sure about the band they think it is silver. The mark was not clear and the one jeweler said it looks like a trademark. I'm taking it to another jeweler tomorrow to see what I can find out for sure about the band. Very exciting, my third ring, ha the second one I found looked like it came straight out of a Crackerjack box.
