<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 261422, member: 2844&quot;]Thanks for the extra pictures, I took the liberty of cropping some of your pictures to get more detail .</p><p>[ATTACH=full]81843[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]81844[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]81846[/ATTACH]</p><p>Although the amethyst ring looks like it could date from the Aesthetic Period, the cut of the stone looks post 1890. Those simple engraved designs are also seen slightly later, 1900-1910, especially in the US. So I&#039;d say 1900-1910 for the amethyst ring.</p><p><br /></p><p>The opal and garnet ring looks Etruscan/Mycenean Revival. Etruscan Revival often has granulated decoration, which your ring doesn&#039;t have, it is closer to the lesser known Mycenean Revival, which started in the 1870s.</p><p>The gold and the cut of the garnets look 19th century as well. As Holly said, garnets come in all colours.</p><p>If the ring is European, the A in a hexagon could be the mark for Vienna, Austria. Vienna had an A in different cartouches in the 19th century until the 1870s. Maybe someone else can verify the shape. But I would expect a Vienna mark to have additional marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
