Are there any stamps in the ring? What metal is it? I was thinking Edwardian maybe Victorian but I need better shots than that. Esp not on your hand. Closer, larger, macro shots help with this.

It's stamped .90 and another stamp for platuim

hmmm. Can you get more detailed shot of the sides and center? I mean it could even be a replica.

 

[bergafer3]

Ya, it's at a shop by me. I'll get better pictures soon. That's said it's not a replica, they arent sure of the era if its Edwardian or early 20's art deco or older. Thanks for your help so far ame.

Sure thing. Im not super awesome with antiques but it's pretty cool lookin!

Though platinum was discovered in the 18th C., it wasn't used in jewelry until the late 19th C., so Edwardian-1920's would make sense to me. I'm leaning more toward Edwardian/very late Victorian (19th C.) in the style.

BTW, .90 means 90% platinum.

You're in STL. I would take it to the jeweler in Clayton, next to the J Buck's. I can't remember the name, but the owner was VERY knowledgable in antique jewelry... And he'll let you play with some fab stuff!

Difficult to tell from pics, but I'd say Edwardian, not Deco. Pretty ring!

Heffern is the name of that one. Kodner is in the next building next to JBucks Tower too, though I don't know about his knowledge of antiques. I would also look at I think TimeKeepers? I think they are also in Clayton with a lot of antique pieces so they could also identify it.

I've been to timekeepers, I love there stuff. Its just a little over priced.

Agreed, though I thought they were negotiable sometimes. If you think they are overpriced, Heffern will make you pass out. lol
