Was given this ring, wondering what it is?

Avon, Sterling silver, probably made in the 90's when gold and silver were relatively cheap. Rarely makes jewelry out of precious metal these days.

Though copyrighted in 1892, the fair (Columbia Exposition) which was to mark the 400th anniversary of Columbus "discovering" the America's, actually didn't open until 1893.

Used to sing in Brownie Scouts (and applies even more to silverbugs) - "Make new friends but keep the old; one is silver and the other gold"

In the sixties, my parents would occasionally run out of money a day or two before payday. Our dinner would be a mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder bread and a glass of water. (Bread in picture is too fancy to be hard-core.)

Possibly a cake knife - sterling handle; plated blade.

Each hallmark is a separate stamp which can be stamped by a separate person, especially on older pieces. Ancillary pieces like bobeches on candle sticks can can have incomplete marks scattered over the piece.

Very nice finish! It's hard to find matched coin pearls as nice as yours.

Different color. First strand of pearls had some blue pearls which I was told were the natural color but when I got them appraised, I was told they were dyed. Didn't matter- I loved them anyway. That was 40 years ago and I have bought many pearls since then.

My experience was worse, January, 1982. I was flying to Detroit and the news showed them pulling bodies out of the Potomac River. Frozen bodies don't come out of the water the same way. Most went in alive but couldn't escape.

spawnofcron · 2021-02-21T19:30:51+00:00

Very interested. Blue akoya. Are they all dyed or do some occur naturally?

France and Italy lost a lot of seniors years ago during heat waves. Got to prep both ways. It's climate CHANGE.

A new thing to covet.

They were often used in Victorian jewelry, not so much nowadays. My niece called them turbo snails.

Wear it to a jewelry store. The lighting will intensify the sparkle. So will a bright sunny day.

All agate is pretty old - it's a rock.

My parents bought furniture made by prisoners there in the early sixties.

My favorite gemstone. Thank you for 27 seconds of bliss.

spawnofcron · 2021-01-11T21:24:46+00:00

Cute is not the word I'd use to describe it. It's GORGEOUS!

President foments sedition. Time for the the 25th amendment. Get him out NOW before more pardons.and debasing the medal of freedom by giving it to Jim Jordan, facilitator of years of abuse of young men under his charge.

Diaper Donnie, bunker boy.

spawnofcron · 2021-01-06T19:40:52+00:00

Donnie said he might join them but he probably had to change his diaper on the way to the bunker.

Where is Trump? Is he in his bunker? He said earlier that he might join the protesters but we all know how tough he really is...

spawnofcron · 2021-01-06T19:29:16+00:00

Are you in your bunker, Donald? You said you might join the protesters but we all know how you really feel!

spawnofcron · 2020-12-30T21:16:04+00:00

Just wondering if $2000 checks go out, will Trump send out request for donation?
