I am supposed to meet with a friend of mine's father next week who happens to be a jeweler....so hopefully I will find out a little more.....Also, I'll try and get some pictures up by the end of this week....Like I said...Its a very interesting ring...and I have never seen anything like it....I've worn it for about a year and never really thought anything of its value until now...I'll post back when I know more....and thanks for the advice!----Jen

Antique Questions Forum / Antique Sterling silver and diamond ring

« on: October 11, 2005, 02:43:24 am »

I have an Antique ring that I recieved as a gift.  It is stamped 925 for sterling silver and it also has one single diamond (not sure what size) in a strange oval cut set sideways in the center of the ring.  On each side of the diamond are three designs that look southwest or of mexican descent.  It is In very good condition, except that it is a little worn on some of the designs.  Along with the 925 stamp inside the ring are the makers initials NF (not connected) I have looked everywhere for who this might be and have seen several other peices that could possibly have come from the same person.  If anyone might know who this maker is I would appreciate the hint....and also with a fairly large, oddly cut, diamond I wonder if this ring might be of any value once the maker is discovered...Thanks for any input!  B)
