Hello all, I found this, what I believe is an antique, diamond and gold ring at a thrift shop! It is unmarked and set in buttercup setting. Pictures terrible, my apologies. I had to pay 130$, so if not a good deal, don't tell me :). Thanks for looking! Julie
Good looking! For the $, your other bargains compensate ;-D
Its an adorable and delicate ring, love it!!
Good eye :)
Thanks kyra, so true, some things we pay so little for, it evens out! :) thank you vv! So glad you like it. I'm happy it fits perfectly to my hand :)
Hi, Jewels…
Whenever I have doubts about metals and stones of jewelry pieces that I obtain, I have them examined a reputable jewelry shop. The one that I use tests right in front of me, so that there is no question about the results. And they do this for free! Of course, if it's a desirable piece, they make an offer for it.
But, as the others suggest, buy and hold something if it really is attractive to you!
Take care….
Ted!
Hi there Ted! Hope all is well! Yes, I know someone who tested the diamond, it is real! That much is good! I do buy what speaks to me :) Take good care Ted! Julie
Hello, Julie…..Things are fine, and I hope that that is the case with you, too! Glad to hear that the diamond proved out. I'd bet that since this is a real diamond, that it's creator would only set it in a precious metal. Let me know…
Yes, you have the right idea in your buying philosophy! Continued best wishes on that, and on all else that is part of your life!

Hello Ted! I agree, it could only be gold, the wearer loved this ring, as the gold is so rounded and smoothed by time. And thank you so much for the kind wishes! I wish the same for you, the best for everything! J
