Alex Sepkus question ....

[Circe]

Tried posting this in RockyTalk, hoping I''ll have a little more success in Jewelry proper ....

I just got an Alex Sepkus Circle Band off of eBay (I am disgustingly smug about this: the seller just listed it as a "vintage band" and charged accordingly, and I recognized it from the blurry photos alone!), and I''m mentally authenticating it. It damned well looks like the real thing to me, but somewhere along the way, someone polished the inside of the ring a tad too enthusiastically - sizing? removing an inscription? - and managed to just about remove the hallmarks. The outline of a now-blurry PLAT is still visible, but there''s another sign I can''t make out. It''s either a series of numbers - registration or serial #? - or something else that''s been so vigorously polished that I just can''t recognize it without a hint. Alex Sepkus owners, what''s in your rings?

Since I don''t have an Alex Sepkus band, I cannot look inside one for you. I just thought I''d let you know that I am following along since I follow Alex Sepkus threads .

Thanks, AGBF! He''s one of my favorite designers, so I do too, whenever they pop up - this is my first piece by him, and I''m kind of stunned at how detailed it is for something so delicate! Definitely something that lives up to its reputation.

I''m extremely jealous! Alex Sepkus rings are pretty on the page, but gorgeous in person. What a lucky find for you!
