[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3961358, member: 8708"]Sadly in poor condition but any thoughts please about the age of this ring? The ‘stones’ are glass so no excitement there. Marked 9ct SIL but it’s been enlarged at some point and that section has an 8 on it (which I think is meaningless as that bit tests as 9ct too so not 18ct) Presume British due to the ct? The band appears to be gold and the surround and shoulders are silver. The adjustment hasn’t been done prettily and the gold looks scorched in places that laughs in the face of my sunshine cloth:sour: So I suppose my question is, is this a scrapper or does it have anything to make it worth saving? Seems sad to scrap something someone cared enough about to get it enlarged but I’m just a softie. I’ve got the missing gems as they fell out when I was cleaning it. Thanks for looking :-) [ATTACH=full]323766[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]323767[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]323768[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]323769[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]323770[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
