[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10655843, member: 2844"]Very attractive, but a wedding band marriage imo.;) Stylewise the front looks 1960s to me, but I am no specialist in modern jewellery. Very likely. Is that the only mark? The font and cartouche of the 585 mark look Dutch, but if Dutch there will always be a tiny oakleaf mark as well. And if it started life as a wedding band, there would likely be a brand logo/name as well. The French and Portuguese have been very good markers for a long time. The Italians not so much, although more recently they have seen the error of their ways.;) Agree. Not unusual, I have a 1930s Dutch wedding band which was mounted with a four leaf clover shape set with Bohemian garnets. That conversion looks much more professional though.[/QUOTE]
