Hi - I purchased this ring at an antique mall recently. The owner who ran the establishment was as honest as possible, saying the tiny little clear stones were probably not diamonds (although the gentleman said they could be old mine cut diamonds, but he doubts it)and the metal was not marked.
The older lady who owned the ring said it was a "Chatham emerald and silver ring". The owner of the mall and I doubted it was Chatham because they are beautifully flawless. He thinks it might be an emerald. I really have no idea, but loved the color and I was well aware of the major chips on two of the four corners, but didn''t care. I like the ring.
I am curious what kind of center stone it is, what the metal is and what the lil stones around the outside are.
The back of the ring is very pretty, and I believe because the designs are matching, but not perfectly cut out that it was more than likely done by hand.
NO markings are evident anywhere on the ring.
I measured the stone and it is 15x10 mm.
Anyone have an opinions? Or even if it is worth going to a professional to get it reshaped to even out the damage. I live in Manhattan, but would appreciate any recommendations of such professionals since there are so many to choose from in the city.
I''m trying to figure out how to post more pictures ...
Thanks so much! Tara
