The design is classic, which is great for wearing but LOUSY for dating. I'd say vintage but not antique, post WWII probably. Probably. That...
ITA on the gold mark. The stone would take a good gemologist to figure out for certain. I'd guess synthetic ruby, but get it under a fluorescent...
Dark spots. Dark spots in a diamond bring the value down. Personally I wouldn't care in an old ring, but insurance guys do. It does help to...
The blow-up looks like either a dyed agate or banded amethyst.
Those look like some nice old settings too.
This is the one that started the thread by accident. I found this in a community tag sale. Early 1920s platinum filigree with a half carat or so...
Oddly, the stone color was popular in the early 30s instead of the early 20s, but with those crazy Germans you never know. (speaking as the...
Me either; it's in hiding so I can't sell it. I'm not fond of butterfly wing jewelry either.
And with an attitude like that ... probably never will at Renninger's at least! The same file-happy idiot apparently file tested marked...

Them's purdy. Hope they sound good too. I've seen a few cigar box guitars before, but the only homebrew electric I've seen was pictures of Les...
Well... maybe two... but then you'll need that new effects pedal.
I have a few too many friends who play a few too many instruments. This I gotta see!
Not my personal favorite, but I do have one of those scarab pins around someplace made from a real dead scarab... no idea where that got to.
It's cool, but definitely plastic. I'm seeing Brownwyn googling Redbubble.
I'll have to take another photo of it at some point; I'll never find the other one I took.
I once scored a diamond ring at a yard sale. Actually a community tag sale, but close enough. Bought a bag full of the stuff they'd cleaned out...
:greedy::greedy::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Me too! EEP! Natural purple pearls for $14!!! OOK! Some dealer has been kicking themselves up one...
