[QUOTE="nastina.nastea, post: 10242912, member: 81895"]Hi dear Members, Here is my latest purchase: an unusual golden ring with flat cut amethysts and a seed pearl. It was checked by a jeweller and it is 18K gold, it also has a hardly readable French "Owl" hallmark (that was used from 1893 for an imported jewellery, or one with unknown origin). The face of the ring is not glossy, but has a matt kind of pattern around the stones. The back side of the ring is a bit confusing, as I can't understand the purpose of the horizontal stripe... Also, it looks like the ring "face" is made of yellow gold, and the "hands" and ring itself - of the more reddish gold.Was it designed like this from the very beginning, or it was updated at some point is a question? My main question is when it was made? The stones setting makes me think that it is Victorian(?). But the style is unusual, I couldn't find anything similar... Its shape and design looks a bit Eastern to me, but I could be wrong. What do you think about it? Maybe someone met a similar shape, or style?
