It's not nearly as big as your big ol' honking ring you have. That's a really nice piece & very collectable. I'm so envious!!! But one day, I'll find my own big ol' honking ring! LOL
Oh they're out there trust me! I just bought a fabulous signed old pawn coral flower ring for 40 dol'la. YES I DID~~
It came from a country antique show and I couldn't believe my luck...pictures soon. I also show you a little trick with rubber bands and rings.
well here ya go; my 40 dollars coral/SS flower ring, signed no less. Found at a country antique show.
It's a huge size (10) so I used a small braiding rubber band to help keep it on my finger. When I just want the flower to fly solo I anchor it with a small silver band OR for more impact a wide one.

That's an awesome ring! What a find!
It's hard to find antique shows around here now days. I use to find some of the best deals at little antique shows. You definitely found a treasure with this one. And I love the idea of the rubber band. I never thought about using something like that.
My problem is finding them big enough. I inherited my Dad's hands so I normally wear a 9-9.5 on my ring fingers & 10 or larger on my other fingers.
That ring is gorgeous, Susie! And I love the band that you're wearing it with. What a great find!
There are no more little antique stores around here. The antique shows are gone too. I think ebay did them all in. That and the fact that the local malls stopped hosting them. I really, really miss shopping them.
It used to be such fun.

It used to be such fun.My husband gave me a NA cuff & matching earring for my birthday!!! Pictures coming soon.
so precious wow, what a guy! You will wear the heck out of those pieces especially during the blue days of Summer!
I'm starting to dig the bear claw (real claws too) in NAJ! I saw this bolo but decided not to buy it because I just secured another one a month earlier.
Your pieces are very special congratulations!!!

Thank you. He told me he wanted to get a matching pendant but there wasn't one. I love this style & yes, the color is awesome for the Summer! Actually, I wear turquoise year round. I think it looks spectacular with black. I love the bear claws, too. I've been looking at a pendant at a local store that sells NAJ but I'm trying to put off getting it until after we get finished with a backyard landscaping project that is currently on going. The owner of the store knows I'm interested in it so she has kind of hidden it in the display case. LOL
That bolo you have on is spectacular!
Yes you're right about the resin. This piece I was showing was the real thing and the price point proved it, hence I no buy, LOL. It's an old pawn item they cleaned up.
Thanks, Jellyv! Yes, most of the "bear claws" are a resin material. The pendant I've been looking at is a signed authentic one bought from an estate out west & has been verified. It's expensive as well & not an amount I able to spend right now. I do love it, though.
