OK, SO I RECENTLY ACQUIRED ANOTHER 29 POUNDS OF HIGHER QUALITY (VERY WELL WORTH LISTING, AND NOT AT ALL SCRAP) STERLING SILVER JEWELRY, WHICH I WILL BE WORKING MY WAY THRU OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS, LISTING AS FAST AS I CAN WHILE ALSO STILL TRYING TO WORK IN OTHER ANTIQUES, BOOKS, GOLD, ETC. ADDITIONALLY, I ALSO PICKED UP ANOTHER 1 - 2 POUNDS OF VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE GOLD FILLED JEWELRY THAT I'LL ALSO BE TRYING TO LIST QUICKLY, SO THAT ALL OF THAT MERCHANDISE IS UP FOR CHRISTMAS INVENTORIES, SO PLEASE COME BACK FOR THOSE GOODIES, AS WELL. ADDITIONALLY, I'LL BE LISTING QUITE A FEW STERLING SILVER GOODIES THAT ALSO HAVE DIAMONDS, INCLUDING BROOCHES, RINGS, BRACELETS, NECKLACES/PENDANTS, ETC.

HERE IS A REALLY FASCINATING OLDER STERLING SILVER MENS RING. GIVEN THAT TIGER'S EYE STONES ARE PRETTY COMMON, AND HAVE NEVER (TO MY KNOWLEDGE) BEEN EXPENSIVE, I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY WOULD HAVE EVER BEEN SUBSTITUTED WITH "MOLTEN GLASS", BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WAS DONE WITH THIS RING. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CAMEO IS FOR TWO ANCIENT MILITARY MEN (CENTURION TYPE), AND THAT THERE IS SOME CHIPPING (& OTHER WEAR) AROUND THE EDGES OF THE RECTANGLE.

THE RING IS CURRENTLY A US SIZE 7.5 - 7.75 (RIGHT BETWEEN THE TWO SIZES), BUT THE BOTTOM CENTER OF THE SHANK / BAND IS CUT. SO, WHEN YOU HAVE THE RING REPAIRED, YOU CAN HAVE IT SIZED TO WHATEVER YOU NEED IT TO BE. THERE IS JUST A HINT OF THE WORD "STERLING" ON THE LOWER CENTER BAND (WHERE IT'S CUT), PLUS I'VE SEEN OTHER NEARLY IDENTICAL ANTIQUE ART DECO RINGS FROM "OSTBY BARTON", WHICH IS WHO I BELIEVE MADE THIS ONE. HOWEVER, SINCE I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE, PLEASE USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT ON THIS.

IT IS NOT MARKED OR SIGNED, BUT HAS BEEN VERY CAREFULLY ACID TESTED AND IS GUARANTEED TO BE SOLID STERLING SILVER (I JUST RE-TESTED IT A FEW MINUTES AGO, JUST TO CONFIRM IT). ALTHOUGH THE RING IS SOLID STERLING SILVER, IT'S ALSO BEEN RHODIUM PLATED. THIS WAS DONE TO KEEP IT BRIGHT "WHITE" (SILVER TONED) FOR FAR LONGER THAN STERLING CAN DO ON ITS OWN (IT LIKES TO IMMEDIATELY START TO TARNISH). THERE IS SIGNIFICANT WEAR TO THAT PLATING, TO WHERE WELL MORE THAN HALF OF IT HAS WORN OFF.

HOWEVER, THE RING (AS A WHOLE) SHOWS JUST MINOR WEAR AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION (EXCEPT FOR THE CUT BAND). THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 7.35 GRAMS. I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL.

BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED. THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.

PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
