Description

The listing, Vintage Ring (Read) has ended.

I had reservations about letting this ring go...however, it does not fit me...well my pinky! I had to look at this piece several times. It is gold tone however, it does say what I believe to be 9.25 on the inside of the band. I believe this to be a size 5 or 6 I do not have a ring sizer. This ring belonged to my grandmother "Mamie" who passed in 1993 at 78 years old. She was born in 1915. This ring is in excellent vintage condition. I do not know what the stones are however, they look to be jade cabachons (2) also between each cabachon are either 2 small diamonds or CZ's I do not know which. I will say this ring does not attract to a magnet at all and the back where the stones are are open for the gems to breathe. I hope someone will give this piece a lovely home. It is truly worth the bids and the work on the metal is just exquisite! I tried to take numerous photos! I know you will love this piece and it would make a vintage collector very happy! After a comment I did some research it is my understanding this is gold vermeil over sterling silver. I found a piece very similar retailing for: $90 for vintage piece.

if it says 925, then it's probably gold vermeil-gold over sterling silver. it's very pretty-too small for my fatty fingers though lol. good luck!!!

Yes there are 2 open spaces for the jade-like stones and two spaces open for the other stones CZ's or Diamonds! I stated I believe in the auction this was a very old piece! I remember my grandmother wearing it in the 70's! Yes there is space for the jewels to breathe!
Thanks!
