    Any ideas on where/when? Unmarked. Tests as 14K. Looks Victorian era to me but I don’t know much here. 273257CC-DB8B-4374-B359-B9C3FEA45501.jpeg 7AEAFD77-F677-4546-BB94-8AEB1D470A26.jpeg

    Sweet, I could be wrong, but it looks modern to me, not Victorian. JMHO.

    Gorgeous, I personally don't think modern, but hard to pinpoint

    I thought Victorian too. Those little tubes around the top,can you see thru to the stone? The reason I ask is because the way that ring is built,it seems like it wanted to let lots of light hit the stone. Maybe the Lapis is a replacement?

    The photos don't show much detail,it may have had a half shank replacement,constructed "tubes" made from 1/2 round wire.Maybe the maker used his bench scrap to make the ring.

    There's zero Victorian about that setting, except that it's everything all the time. The lapis is wrong too; it has pyrite in it. The older style acceptable Lapis didn't have pyrite in it.

    No clue but I’d guess 70s forward…

    I do like the top with the flowers, but guessing more modern as well. Nice chunk of gold though.

    However, I see what Holly is talking about. What's going on here? Looks like damage or some kind of odd repair? A bit hard to tell what is going on in the photos. Would impact resale value I think.
