Featured What are these bitty gold rings?

All these "rings" are small sizes, most 2 - 4, test 14K and have little set gemstones. They are not rigid. Most are pretty flexible like a neck or bracelet chain. I guess they are midi/knuckle rings? Or what else could they be? They came from the estate of a woman who had a store, maybe in the 80s or 90s, but I'm not sure of the time frame. Any ideas appreciated!
Excuse the human hand in the photo, but seemed to be the best way to show them.

 

Childrens jewelry, most likely.

 

As a little kid, I would've laid on the tracks for a sapphire one!

 

That makes sense. Thanks! Were midi rings even a thing back then?

It seems like they would be very easy to resize.
This is the first time I've ever heard of chain rings.

Well there you go, chain rings for children. Thanks everyone.

Do you think these would be saleable to adults as midi rings?

 

Some look like baby bracelets, but it's hard to get a clear idea of size from photo.

 

Toe?

 

Ditto.
Ick... hopefully no one's tried them on!

 

They are all rings, nothing anywhere near bracelet size.

I will probably try to sell them in my showcase at the mall as kids rings or adult midi rings, but I'm gonna pass on the toe ring thing. I second your ick.

 

I was thinking toe rings too.

 

Pinkie rings, as well. Mine are about 2.5-3 size. These are really adorable!

 

14 K.........hard to know if a market exists.....but they will melt !!!!

 

I thought about melting them, but would rather not. I did a rough calculation, and could probably get at least 2 times melt if there is a market for them.

 

I get that....but who's wearing these now ?
and how would you sell them.......one at a time.....in pairs ???

So, the quick nickel , or the slow dime....

 

I'd wear them! I think the uniqueness helps. Can't hurt to try retail for a bit and see how they do.

 

what r they worth apiece ?

 

I just put some in my mall showcase at $65 each. Stacked them up on a ring form so they show up well and don't take up a lot of room. I'd get about $20 each in scrap. I'm in no hurry to get them sold, so we'll see what happens.

 

good luck !!!!
