stone / ring identification

[Roselina]

I couldn't resist... this happens from time to time and I bid on a piece I think looks fun and interesting to explore. This time I got this pinky ring. It is stamped 18k. The black is onyx, the white stone I don't know. I knew it wouldn't be diamond and it isn't. When I test with the diamond tester it goes up but not into diamond range. The stone looks nice but has a lot of abrasion. I add a few photos. Does anyone have an idea what era and what stone this could be? It was obviously well worn and loved and very dirty. It looked like it was hardly ever cleaned when it arrived.

Thank you

Cz?

Cz?

In a 18k setting?

Hmm maybe white sapphire?

I vote CZ, doesn't look like sapphire to me. Who knows, that ring could have held an emerald that cracked and they threw a CZ in there until better days. Whatever it is, it's a very cool ring and a great find.

Cool looking ring! I think 1930s-40s.

It could be a replacement stone, as @Ibrakeforpossums said.
Because of the extensive facet wear, it might be glass, white topaz, or any number of clear stones prone to abrasions.

Maybe you could shop around for a colored stone replacement......a bright green emerald would be fab!

Hmmm… I agree. The abrasions are intense. It could be glass indeed that was put in later. Or topaz. I like the idea of a replacement stone! The white one is loose, too, so that‘s a good idea. Thank you

Agreed! A bright green emerald would look incredible.
