This ring came from Geri's stash. As soon as I saw it, there was no question that it would be MINE MINE MINE - haha! It measures an inch long and 3/4 inch in width. Stamp for .835 silver and maker's initials.
I absolutely love it - and it's a perfect ring finger fit.
Thanks for stopping.

Lovely ring!
Another incredible piece!! Wow, you did good!
Really beautiful Bonnie.....and very "you" !!!!
I love big rings, and the carnelian is soo yummmmy :-P
No doubt... it had to be yours!
Can you remind me again what if any the difference is between countries/silver .835 and 9.25 or is it the same.?
What is the stone? It's very very cool.
835 and 925 show the silver content in the metal per 1000. Nothing below 925 per 1000 can be technically called "sterling silver". There are also 800, 830, 900, 950 etc. Traditionally, in different countries, one of the standards is more common compared to others for specific styles of jewelry (e.g., 800 for Italy, 835 for Germany, 950 for Mexico - these are not exclusive by any means and more detailed info is available online) and that sometimes helps us to narrow down the origin.
OGF, the name of the stone is in the title.
olie - yes, carnelian agate. This one is red carnelian. Agates come in so many different varieties, and are really beautiful.
