<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RachelW, post: 9559558, member: 15376&quot;]<p style="text-align: center">Oh dear what a couple of weeks it has been!</p> <p style="text-align: center">I&#039;m going with my mom back to the states to deal with my grandparents storage unit (and ours) for two weeks, so I&#039;ve had to get an ahead on work this week, plus I&#039;ve had an event every night this week (part of my job description is sports commenator (but for a video game haha)). On top of that, my phone didn&#039;t have enough storage to update, and it got to the point I couldn&#039;t put photos over onto the laptop to post here. But all sorted now! I have an evening to myself so I&#039;m catching up on everything here.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">That aside, those rings arrived ages ago at this point, and I&#039;m happy!</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">First up, the &#039;get rids&#039;. Mum loves the red one so that went to her. The two gold and large silver have already sold at a car boot.</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]457061[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">The interesting, but not valuable. I think these are my personal keepers, minus the damascene. Its a pretty one but not something I&#039;d wear.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]457064[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]457065[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">And these are the goodies!</p> <p style="text-align: center">The silver ermine ring isn&#039;t Toulhoat, and its not 925, but its 800 and Kelt. I&#039;m happy!</p> <p style="text-align: center">The green ones are 925, but the inlay is damaged in some areas. Not noticable when its worn though so thats okay.</p> <p style="text-align: center">The red is indeed coral, the setting sure looks like silver but its not marked.</p> <p style="text-align: center">The white one is ivory.</p> <p style="text-align: center">The orange blob of honey over in the back is costume, marked P&amp;M Paris, apparently still a mystery brand so thats fun.</p> <p style="text-align: center">Whats the ring on the far left? I&#039;ve kept it back as its too unique looking to be nothing perhaps.</p> <p style="text-align: center">The men&#039;s &#039;signet&#039; ring is very cool, in the ad you couldn&#039;t see what the inscription was, its Paris 1947. This is the one I hoped was gold. I acid tested it, and it was inconclusive at 9k. I need to retest, but unsure what that means. Plated perhaps?</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]457063[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]457081[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">A better view of the two gold candidates, both inconclusive for 9k:</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]457082[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]457083[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">The other mark on the kelt ring, kelt is on the inside, the boars head stamp and this are on the outside.</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]457084[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]457089[/ATTACH]</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
