 Interesting to see the results !   Karma is smiling.🖖

VL might be right?  That ring could belong to a mysterious foreign princess. It was the first ring the prince gave her. They are now king and queen and there is a REWARD !!!!  There IS a ?% of possibility here... Or maybe your wife will wear it after you tell her this... 🥸 Nahhhhhhh !  But if you keep the ring you can use my story !

Good point, but how do you find out?

The rightmost ring in my 'junk' photo was a particular surprise because of how attractive it is.  My eye said it would contain precious metal (more than just the gold plating).  I haven't tossed it (or sold at a yard sale) so it still could work out that I've misevaluated it.

Nice work as usual Chuck. That ring reminds me of one I found a long time ago clearly plated but stamped 925 under the guilt.

I've saved it Because I liked it so much. I have seen it worn by one other woman on the check out stand at Lowe's  🙂

Simply type in almost any search engine "hard to find rare costume jewelry", and it should give some good pointers.

More of the valuable items will have a makers mark on them and you can then you will be able to judge what they are worth.

I have seen my grandfather get over $1,000 for a broach that I thought was total junk, but it was a very rare item.

Hope this helps.
