<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nastina.nastea, post: 10624468, member: 81895&quot;]Hi dear Members,</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought, recently, one of the most beautiful ring I&#039;ve ever seen<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>It is made of silver and gold, has a large centre stone, which is 15mm x 11mm size and smaller stones around. Beautifully crafted filigree ornaments both on the front and back of the ring. The band itself is ornate silver over gold.</p><p>The central stone (I assume it is Sapphire, or blue Spinel) has an effect of colour gradient. Upper part of the stone has more intense colour than the lower part (I think it is called &quot;Colour zoning&quot;, but I can&#039;t capture it on photos. There are some inclusion in stone, but I can see them only under magnifying glass. </p><p>The pink stones (Rubies, or Sapphires) glow vivid red under UV light.</p><p>There are no hallmarks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found some pieces online that are not the same, but have similar style, however I&#039;m struggling to determine the age of the ring. Some pieces I found were dated 1900s, another 1920s-1930s. If someone could help with more accurate dating, I&#039;ll be very grateful. </p><p>Also, I&#039;m wondering if the stones are synthetic, I think maybe if I could date it more accurate it would help in regards of the stones origin.</p><p><br /></p><p>As always, thank you for all opinions<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]532056[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]532057[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]532058[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]532059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]532060[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]532061[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
