829 silver ring when was that popular?

Ironlord!!! So glad to see you back again.  I'd given up hope!

YES, ...... I figured he was now manager of Goodwill and far too busy to talk to us.

Russia has several different levels of silver.  I have seen other 800 marks on antique jewelry before.  Victorian period often on the ones I have seen. 

I know they do but i've never seen 829 and it sounds like there's no other hallmark.
Only mention on the internet is people assuming it means silver content on a couple of question and answer websites.


Oh, and i've been smited yet again. Someone on here is really petty

Took it to a very trusted jeweler today.  It is silver and glass jewels.  So I am still happy with my little lot of 6 silver rings for $16.89.  Feel better that I checked.  Would hate to sell as glass and find out later it was diamonds. lol

Smartest thing to do, icegold.

Well done ! 

Quite possible then the number had no relevance to the silver content. I've found gold jewellery in boxes of costume jewellery before that had no hallmark on them. Usually the vendor has them back as soon as they find out !
On older jewellery, marks can often have been rubbed or polished off. You ladies - or gents, i guess ! - with any rings will know that.

829 is, quite literally, an odd number.

Your are right 829 is and odd number.  I'm an accountant so I know that kind of thing.      Joking of course.
