First of all, I love the top view of that ring. It strikes me as being somewhat audacious for the time when it was bought. But it seems to fit well with your description of your grandmother as being somewhat boisterous! Do you know whether she wore this ring often?
I can’t tell you anything about your ring but here’s what the certificate brings to mind:
I’ve been to Israel twice, both times as part of a guided tour. The first trip included a stop at a “jewelry factory.” I’d hoped we would get to see jewelry actually being made, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. Instead we got to see a film of the jewelry being made, and we got an opportunity to buy jewelry - at rather inflated prices – in the fancy factory show room. For some reason that certificate looks to me like some thing that might accompany a purchase made at that kind of a tourist-oriented shop.
(For what it’s worth and apropos of nothing, my visit to the Delft blue pottery factory in Delft, the Netherlands, was a little bit better. There was the obligatory film, but there was also a self guided walking tour where you did get to see a bit of the manufacturing process. And, of course, the opportunity to shop at the end of the tour!)

I claimed this ring and several other pieces from my grandmothers costume jewelry box after she passed away. She was a flashy and boisterous jersey girl who served as a nurse in World War II. Her in laws were Dutch and I can only assume she bought this ring on a visit to Holland. Can anyone tell me anything about it ? It’s very light. I can’t figure out what metal it is.
