[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 60068, member: 50"]Just sorting some jewelry I picked up at yard sales today. I'm not a jewelry person at all but have been keeping my eyes open because one of my daughters is going to make a vintage brooch bouquet for her wedding. First, are any inexpensive gem tester worth getting? Anyway, two of the rings I picked up are marked sterling (at least one is for sure). One I'm guessing is sort of a brutalist v band and is marked something like DVD, or CVD or maybe M (medium?)? Does anyone recognize the maker (or does it even matter?) The other is sapphire color stone with clear stones and seems to be very worn to the point the band broke. It seems to be marked lightly and possibly maybe ST[COLOR=rgb(191, 191, 191)]ERLIN[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]G[/COLOR][/COLOR] and WEST[COLOR=rgb(191, 191, 191)]ERLIN[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]G[/COLOR][/COLOR]? Can't tell if it actually says sterling. The question on this one other than wondering the maker, is it likely that the stones are real?
