Fine Jewelry RingsNo article of fine jewelry carries as much cultural weight as the ring. For…
Southwestern style is hot right now the first two pics would sell well if you described them as "vintage Boho/Hippie" . 3rd pic is a nice ring and I would keep it, but I tend to hold on to everything:) The last one has a material that at the moment I cant remember what its called but it was popular in the 70's.
First "Mask" Ring looks Old and Mexican. A carved green stone, that looks like jade but it could be another semi-precious gemstone found locally. Second Ring is likely Native American with Turquoise Nuggets. Looks Older. 3rd Ring looks like Gold and Diamonds, but you never unless it is tested. Very Nice, Deco Era. Last Ring. Men's Setting with Goldstone, which is actually a Manmade Glass, also known as Aventurine Glass. Can be found in a Dark Blue with Silver as well. Goldstone is often found set in a Gold-Filled Metal, however, it can also be found set in precious metals, most often a lower carat gold. Very Cool!
Tell you what.... just mail them to me and I'll keep them for you. :) lol
