Does This Just Look Like Glass?

Does this look like a stone or glass? Looks like glass to me, but WDIK. It's sterling.

 

This looks like garnet but the only sure way to tell is with a gem tester. I'm betting it is though. Pretty !

 

Wow, I thought I had done a good job cleaning that ring until I uploaded the pictures here.

Thanks Calico. I never would have guessed garnet because of the pinkish undertone I'm seeing.

 

Wow, I thought I had cleaned the ring up with the sunshine cloth, but realized I didn't do a very good job after seeing the pics uploaded here. Still some tarnish or dirt in the nooks and crannies, but this looks quite a bit better now:

 

The style looks Balinese to me.

Oh wow, thanks for that Sue. Maybe with that information I can track down one exactly like it.

 

You're welcome.

 

Possibly almandine garnet or carbuncle.

 

Is the setting silver? Looks like it is.
Is the back of the stone open for light?

I agree with garnet.

 

Garnet for sure. Rhodolite or pyrope, from the look of it. Almandine has some orange in it.

 

I vote garnet, they even come in pinks. Pyrope is the color of pomagranite. Nice ring.

 

They come green too, for that matter. Demantoids are worth $$$; the purple ones, not so much.

 

I also vote Garnet.
Lovely little ring.

Demantoids sounds like a Dr Who nemesis.

 

The eyes on my avatar are demantoids...

Am I seeing a cat's-eye effect on the second image? If it has a cat's eye, that could change things...

 

No cat's eye from what I can see.

Thanks everyone for the responses. You learn something new everyday!

ps. cluttered closet, setting is sterling and the back is not open.

 

Almandine, carbuncle, rhodolite, pyrope, demantoids...increased my vocabulary today!

 

.increased my vocabulary today!

No one ever goes away from here empty minded..........

 

Then I don't think it is very old.
Something from a new age shop? Maybe from India? Thailand?

It is still a nice setting.

 

Um, sometimes my mind empties quicker than it fills!
