    billyd3us Thanks All my Friends

    I got this today, no markings but test 100% positive sterling silver . It is heavy compared to other rings of this size I have owned. I am calling it brutalist because it reminds of things I have seen in the 60's brutally made. Any ideas on maker or where it came from ? The stones look like they have some type of crystal inside them .

    Thank You 006.JPG 007.JPG 008.JPG 009.JPG 010.JPG

    Turquoise nuggets. Any crystals would be from other rock around the turquoise, probably quartz.

    What's going on with the bottom of the shank? Looks too heavy to be adjustable. Has it been cut off?

    Looks like the stones were shaped to be teeth.

    That might be a sand cast that wasn't soldered together properly at the join.

    It's a 2 piece constructed ring,looks like someone's poor attempt to repair it with the solder glob on the right side of the break.
