[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9710066, member: 2844"]That high setting is often 1960s-70s, I think. A bit too recent for my jewellery interest/knowledge, so someone may have to correct me. Chloe, could you tell us what the metal is, so we have something to go by? In its current state it is difficult to tell what the exact colour even is. It could be a copper alloy, but silver for jewellery is also alloyed with copper, which could account for the green oxidation. It could occur on ca .830 fineness or lower. If the ring is silver, that is. If the ring is a copper alloy, the stone is glass.[/QUOTE]
