Oh, I like that one. The setting makes me think it is fairly old. I would try to find out what the stone is.

so does the wife. but to bad its messing a piece. but this one will be in her collection

The missing piece of gold can be fabricated by a goldsmith and it will actually be stronger than the original cast. If this ring is what I think it is, it would be worth repairing.

I'm guessing Pink Sapphire, Alexandrite or Tourmaline on this one. Given the era, I'm thinking corundum.

That's a great find ! Could be a ruby, or a rhodolite garnet , possibly a rubellite tourmaline . Yes the shank can easily be repaired .

Nice one.
The stone's cut looks like what's called "rose cut" popular in older pieces..I would think that was a ruby.
