<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 4217068, member: 649"]The first ring is marked STERLING inside the band and appears to have a tiny coral cameo… Any way to tell if it is true coral based on my rather bad photos? As you can see in one photo, it does open. What might’ve been its purpose? It came to me completely black and I’ve cleaned it best I can.
