I found this really old ring in my mom''s jewelry box that used to belong to my great grandfather.. It has an orange stone in it and a very unique setting.. The inscription on the inside had the date 5/5/1928..
I''m not quite sure what the stone is that''s in it..
I think I''m going to leave it as is and don''t really plan on wearing it.. I just thought it was a really unique find! But I would love to find out what type of stone is in it!
I also love that it has my great grandmother and grandfather''s initials on the inside as well as the date.. I was shocked that it said 1928!
the engraving inside with the date is such a sentimental touch. something like that is so special. when i was sixteen, my father and grandfather gave me a triple opal ring in a gold setting. one of the opals was missing, and they had it replaced. my grandmother died when i was only a month or 2 old. my grandfather gave my grandmother this ring when they were only sixteen. inside under the setting (which is kind of twisted ) are their initials: my grandfather''s on one side,my grandmother''s on the other. my father and grandfather have long ago passed away and i cherish this ring and will one day pass it on to 1 of my girls. it is now an antique. It has no date, but my father was born in 1902.
From the time period and the color of the stone I bet its a citrine.In the 1920s the color orange was widley used in jewelry and clothing.The hand engraving is really nice and make for a beautiful heirloom.
