Interesting little old ring I found at Flea yesterday. Looks somewhat like a *marriage* to me. Marked 9ctSil, looks like front and back were put together. Sweet and simple little setting holds a foil-back crystal that sparkles up a storm with 2 small not-as-nice crystals on each side. You can clearly see how the back of the ring differs from the front. No other markings are on the ring as you can see. All I know is ct symbol is usually European. Sweet nevertheless, n'est-ce pas?
Your comments are welcome.

Yes I also think it's two rings melted together. And the big crystal doesn't seem original to me. They would never put so much work in making such a setting for a foilback stone. My guess is the original stone would have been a diamond or something like that.
Still a nice ring!
Hello Newtimes. Yes, it is a curiosity, isn't it?
