It's a 14K gold cobra ring with unknown stone type,do you have any info to add?

 

It's a fantasy ring, but the gold stamp looks legit.
You'll have to take it to a gemologist to see if the stones are of a valuable quality.
I'd think even if they were rubies and aquamarines....they'd not be Gem Quality stones.

 

To my eye, blue stones look like topaz; orange stones could be garnets, but think more likely to be 'madeira' citrine. Colors would be due to heat or irradiation, not natural.

 

Yes thank you all so much, I have it selling under Madeira citrine which was my first analysis. Holly I can only send more pictures as info I am really curious about this ring its great quality! its real gold too! I have more interesting finds yins would love!

I was thinking aquamarine and garnet; they routinely heat treat aquamarine these days to make it look closer to a true blue than the green-blue of the untreated stones. Heat-treated citrine could be right for the large stone and probably is.

It's a funky cocktail piece regardless. In a case like this the maker doesn't mean much as far as I know.

 

I will want to see your sale you have going on this ring, it's very pretty.

 

Welcome Gage.
I love snake rings, and so do many others, so your beauty should sell. I agree with probably Madeira citrine and aquamarine.

I think your ring was made in India, given the construction of the back and the combination and types of stone used. India manufactures a lot of this attractive jewellery with lower quality gemstones.
Jaipur in Rajasthan is a city famous for its stones and jewellery, and it exports much of what it manufactures, but there are others as well. There are countless manufacturers, so your chance of finding this one is slim. It is unlikely to add to the value.
This ring was probably made for export, Indians usually prefer a higher fineness for their gold. In India jewellery is seen as an investment for the future, as well as an expression of beauty and identity.
India is working on a national quality control system for gold, and their big manufacturers are taking fineness control very seriously.

 

Indian gold for Indian use is often 22k; I think they make 20 karat too. Italians and Brits tend to go for 18 karat. They make the 14k for us dumb Americans who don't know any better.

 

Thank you all for helping, the mystery remains I guess lol Americans use 14kt because we always have a tendency to break our stuff! 14kt is more durable haha not sure! Any Jewelery this is a great hypothesis, the hallmark does look funky enough

 

I sent u a message regarding my sale site

 

Not just these days, at least as far back of the days of yore when I was a kid. I so wish they would make at least some jewellery using the natural color. I have looked for anything set with sea green beryl without success. Have read the Victorians preferred it greener.

 

In Asia they have been doing it for centuries.

 

You are right about that. I often cringe when I hear "gemstone" because I no longer have any accurate of what that term means?

Thanks! I took a quick look! You have very pretty things!

 

There are 2 realms of terminology: words as used by mineralogists; words as used 'in the trade'. You can imagine the latter are more freewheeling.

As long as the stone is molecularly one that is regarded as precious or semiprecious, they will be called gemstones. There are many ways of changing/'enhancing' color through dye, heat & irradiation, as well as ways of growing crystals in labs that are genuinely the stated mineral, just not made by natural processes. Some of these are so routine, members of the trade do not feel obliged to mention them. If you would value a stone as truly a gemstone only if it is 'natural', mined & untreated, you really have to look for these qualifiers when a stone is described & trust the source of the description.

 

I'm a fan of unheated aquamarine too, and unheated citrine. They may not be as "pretty" but they're more interesting.

 

I adore tourmaline, which comes naturally in an array of colors, but partial to the blue greens. Can't afford a genuine Paraibo, just drool.

 

I saw a paraiba ring in a Tiffany store, my mall has one, once. It was in with the diamonds. I took one look and said, if I was engaged.... that one.
