Thanks AF. Can I ask which people made the pieces you have that seem similar? Think I will start my own thread when I can get the bear...
I'm still not persuaded (trying to get you an antique here). Looks like there's an imperfection at that point. Not clear to me if the 'flick' is...
Thanks once again for sharing your expertise. I'm not so naive as to think it is never violated, but isn't there law or regulation about who is...
In 1976 the turquoise cabochons would all have been the same size & shape, the same uniform pale blue. These stone are characteristic of...

In those days I was desperately trying to wear my hair in a flip (most girls either wore a flip or a page boy) but my hair just has its own ideas....
Thanks. :) Some days the eyes & brain get it right, & then on others...
[ATTACH] If that's the Birmingham anchor on its side next to it, that B mark is for 1850, which would agree with the look of the ring.
It's my favorite of the lot too. The others are those honking great 1970s styles. Fun fact to know & tell: 5 golden rings are not an anomaly,...
There is an S[uzanne]. Valelly who has an Instagram account. She either is one or hangs out with gymnasts. Maybe you could sell it to her. :)...
