So my mom had a nice jewelry collection when I was a kid and when she died my dad put it away for me. I never really do much with any of it. She wasn''t overflowing in diamonds per se, just pretty pieces. Anyways I was cleaning my old jewelry box out the other day and this ring was in there in a green ring box. I don''t honestly if it''s a fake cocktail ring or an amethyst or what. the setting looks legitimately gold though not cheap metal.
It barely fits on my ring finger and it really never does. I wear a 7 and my mom had much smaller fingers than I do. I must not be retaining to much water! lol
Anyways I thought I''d ask the pros on here before I take it in somewhere in case it''s lame.
Funny I was wearing another ring of my mom''s for awhile and my dad said ''its a tigers eye!'' he said she told him that too. I had it repaired one day and they said it was black star sapphire. Makes sense since it does have this perfect star right in the middle of it. Nice suprise! That reminds me, that one is due to be fixed up!
Okay I am terrible at taking photos, its dark in the apartment and in person the stone looks a lot more like a light purple than as dark as it''s appearing to be in the pictures.
Thanks for the help! Oh if it is something like an amethyst could someone educate me a bit on what size they think it is etc? I''ve heard that Amethyst tend to be softer stones.
