[QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 1247137, member: 57"]"KSW, post: 1246979, member: 8708 "If a ring has a gap in the band does that always mean it's modern?" Hmmm, could it possibly be a ring which had gotten too small on a finger and had to be "cut off" the finger and then the ring was kept but not repaired? Two other possibilities but they are not "pleasant" to think about -- perhaps someone had to be hospitalized and their finger(s) became so swollen that the ring was cut-off by hospital personnel. Or maybe someone died with the ring on their finger and one of the family members wanted the ring and had it removed from the deceased person's hand before cremation/burial.[/QUOTE]
