[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9439301, member: 2844"]Wide, why don't you do some simple research of your own. Google 'Georgian ring', and google 'Ottoman Balkan style filigree'. See which style comes closest. That is two centuries with a wide range of period styles. He is clearly just guessing. I wouldn't have faith in someone who can't be more precise about the period/style. I hope you didn't have to pay him. Well, Mark Lawson is clearly not an expert on Turkish or Balkan style jewellery. If the others also say Georgian without an exact decade of Georgian (which is over a century, with different styles), or a ridiculously broad timeframe between 1700 and 1900, you'll know they aren't experts either. It is an unusual ring, much more unusual than Georgian rings. You don't have to believe me, but you shouldn't be deceived by so-called experts either. If you don't trust me, ask on the Ethnic Jewels site, they are also on FB. I am a member on both the site and their FB pages, but I'll keep my mouth shut and let the others ID the ring.;)[/QUOTE]
